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. Fund returns include changes in share price, reinvested distributions, and a 5.75% maximum applicable sales charge except where “without sales charge” is indicated. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Returns do not consider capital gains or income taxes on an individual’s investment. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit oppenheimerfunds.com or call 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677).

The Fund’s Class A shares (without sales charge) produced a return of 11.24% during the reporting period. The Fund outperformed its Reference Index (the “Index”), a customized weighted index currently comprised of 30% of the Russell 1000 Index, 30% of the MSCI All Country World Index (ex-U.S.), 20% of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and 20% of the Barclays Multiverse Index (ex-U.S.), which returned 7.92%. The Fund’s positive results were driven by its investments in international equities, underweight in duration, positive security selection, and its derivative strategies.
MARKET OVERVIEW
The reporting period was largely defined by increased central bank stimulative measures. Prior to the start of the reporting period, central banks in the United States and Europe announced new accommodative policy measures intended to promote market liquidity and stimulate greater economic growth. In September 2012, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) embarked on a new round of open-ended quantitative easing involving monthly purchases of $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government agencies. During the period, the Fed increased its monthly purchases to $85 billion. Meanwhile, the head of the European Central Bank (the “ECB”) had reassured investors that his institution was committed to supporting the Eurozone, and the ECB signaled its conditional intention to purchase massive amounts of debt from troubled members of the European Union. In China, a new government was widely expected to adopt more stimulative monetary and fiscal policies. Even in Japan,
which had been mired in economic weakness for years, new government leadership adopted economic policies and the central bank announced a massive quantitative easing program, which will likely promote export activity by reducing the value of the yen against most other major currencies. Investors reacted positively to these measures, resulting in a rally among equities and higher yielding bonds.
FUND REVIEW
During the period, investments in international equities provided the strongest contribution to the Fund’s return and outperformed the MSCI All Country World Index (ex-U.S.) Index. Our investments in U.S. equities also produced positive total returns for the Fund, but underperformed relative to the Russell 1000 Index. The performance of equities overall was buoyed by the stimulus measures taken by central banks this period, despite fears caused by the so-called U.S. fiscal cliff and related sequester, ongoing European concerns, China’s slowing growth,
OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND | 3 |
and continued deleveraging. The strong performance of our international equity investments was driven by the performance of equities in international developed markets. Developing market equities also produced positively, but to a lesser degree. This was largely the result of a slippage in economic output expansion coupled with a deceleration of credit growth and falling inflationary momentum in certain emerging markets.
Among our fixed-income and alternatives strategies, the Fund benefited from investments in leveraged loans and high yield bonds. We believe these investments continue to offer more attractive risk-adjusted returns than Treasuries. Our investment in event-linked bonds also contributed positively. The Fund also had a small allocation to mortgages at period end, which produced muted performance this period.
We use derivatives to cheaply mitigate downside risk and efficiently access market upside; what we call “return shaping.” Over the period, we hedged exposure to downside risk, and at the same time implemented upside capture strategies, which are intended to capture gains from a sustained equity market rally. The Fund received positive contributions from both its upside capture and downside protection strategies, as our disciplined profit taking process allowed us to lock in gains.
Our upside capture strategies benefited as the markets rallied during the period. Specifically, our S&P 500 and NIKKEI 225 call options were accretive to returns. A significant portion of our downside protection strategy entailed owning and selling Chicago Board Options Exchange Market Volatility Index (the “CBOE VIX Index”) futures contracts to protect against market volatility.1 We managed this position by owning near-dated futures and selling longer-dated futures. The Fund benefited from this strategy, which provided downside protection at a low cost particularly over the first half of the period when markets were more volatile. This lowered the hurdle our upside strategies faced in paying for downside hedges as markets trended higher.
STRATEGY & OUTLOOK
During the reporting period, central bank measures have significantly boosted the markets. We believe current monetary policy will be left largely unchanged, with only minor changes as fundamentals gradually improve. In this environment, we believe equities are highly attractive, especially versus bonds. Among fixed-income investments, we currently favor floating rate securities and higher-yielding corporate bonds. We are currently maintaining very limited exposure to U.S. Treasuries as we believe there is little room for yields to compress from already low levels, making them a less viable hedging option. Instead, we are focused on
1 The CBOE VIX Index is a measure of market expectations of near-term volatility conveyed by S&P 500 stock index option prices.
4 | OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND |
establishing downside protection via derivative strategies, which we are currently able to purchase at lower costs due to muted volatility. Moreover, the relative cheapness of equities allows us to harvest risk premium from stocks to help pay for defensive hedges.
Mark Hamilton1 Portfolio Manager |
When quantitative easing is scaled back, we expect the market will likely begin focusing more on company fundamentals rather than macroeconomic developments. We believe this can provide increased opportunity for our security selection teams to add even more value.

For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit oppenheimerfunds.com or call 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677). 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 deferred sales charge of 1% for the 1-year period. There is no sales charge for Class I and Y shares. Because Class B shares convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase, the 10-year return for Class B shares uses Class A performance for the period after conversion. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized.
The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index, the Russell 1000 Index, the MSCI All Country World Index (ex-U.S.), the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the Barclays Multiverse Index (ex-U.S.) and the Fund’s Reference Index. The S&P 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks intended to be

a representative sample of leading companies in leading industries within the U.S. economy. The Russell 1000 Index measures the performance of the large-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. The MSCI All Country World Index (ex U.S.) is designed to measure global developed and emerging equity market performance excluding the United States. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an index of U.S dollar-denominated, investment-grade U.S. corporate government and mortgage-backed securities. The Barclays Multiverse Index (ex-U.S.) provides a broad-based measure of the global fixed-income bond market. The Fund’s Reference Index is a customized weighted index currently comprised of 30% of the Russell 1000 Index, 30% of the MSCI All Country World Index (ex-U.S.), 20% of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and 20% of the Barclays Multiverse Index (ex-U.S.).

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 (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, 2013.
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.

OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND | 55 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS April 30, 2013 / Unaudited
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Global Allocation Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Oppenheimer Quest for Value Funds, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a combination of growth of capital and investment income. The Fund’s primary objective is growth of capital. The Fund’s investment adviser was OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”), through December 31, 2012. Effective January 1, 2013, the Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI. The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI, as of the same effective date.
The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class I, Class N and Class Y shares, and previously offered Class B shares for new purchase through June 29, 2012. Subsequent to that date, no new purchases of Class B shares are permitted, however reinvestment of dividend and/or capital gain distributions and exchanges of Class B shares into and from other Oppenheimer funds will be allowed. 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 N shares are sold, and Class B shares were 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 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, B, C and N shares have separate distribution and/or service plans under which they pay fees. Class I and Class Y shares do not pay such fees. 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.
Structured Securities. The Fund invests in structured securities whose market values, interest rates and/or redemption prices are linked to the performance of underlying foreign currencies, interest rate spreads, stock market indices, prices of individual securities, commodities or other financial instruments or the occurrence of other specific events. The structured securities are often leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note’s market value relative to the change in the underlying linked financial element or event. Fluctuations in value of these securities are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The Fund records a realized gain or loss when a structured security is sold or matures.
56 | OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND |
Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis. “When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis normally takes place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When the Fund engages in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield it considers advantageous. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued basis or forward commitment prior to settlement of the original purchase.
As of April 30, 2013, the Fund had purchased securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis and sold securities issued on a delayed delivery basis as follows:
When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis Transactions | ||||
Purchased securities | $ | 3,006,424 | ||
Sold securities | 642,288 |
Credit Risk. The Fund invests in high-yield, non-investment-grade bonds, which may be subject to a greater degree of credit risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest or principal payments or both as they become due. The Fund may acquire securities that have missed an interest payment, and is not obligated to dispose of securities whose issuers or underlying obligors subsequently miss an interest payment.

Investment in Oppenheimer Global Allocation Fund (Cayman) Ltd. The Fund has established a Cayman Islands company that is wholly-owned and controlled by the Fund (the “Subsidiary”). The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary invests primarily in commodity-linked derivatives (including commodity related futures, options and swap contracts), exchange traded funds and certain fixed-income securities and other investments that may serve as margin or collateral for its derivatives positions. Investments in the Subsidiary are expected to provide the Fund with exposure to commodities markets within the limitations of the federal tax requirements that apply

to the Fund. The Subsidiary is subject to the same investment restrictions and guidelines, and follows the same compliance policies and procedures, as the Fund. The Fund wholly owns and controls the Subsidiary, and the Fund and Subsidiary are both managed by the Manager.
The Fund does not consolidate the assets, liabilities, capital or operations of the Subsidiary into its financial statements. Rather, the Subsidiary is separately presented as an investment in the Fund’s Statement of Investments. Shares of the Subsidiary are valued at their net asset value per share. Gains or losses on withdrawals of capital from the Subsidiary by the Fund are recognized on an average cost basis. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary is recorded in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Fund’s Statement of Operations. Distributions received from the Subsidiary are recorded as income on the ex-dividend date.
For tax purposes, the Subsidiary is an exempted Cayman investment company. The Subsidiary has received an undertaking from the Government of the Cayman Islands exempting it from all local income, profits and capital gains taxes through September of 2030. No such taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes, the Subsidiary is a Controlled Foreign Corporation and as such is not subject to U.S. income tax. However, as a wholly-owned Controlled Foreign Corporation, the Subsidiary’s net income and capital gain, to the extent of its earnings and profits, will be included each year in the Fund’s investment company taxable income. For the six months ended April 30, 2013, the Subsidiary has a deficit of $78,257 in its taxable earnings and profits. In addition, any in-kind capital contributions made by the Fund to the Subsidiary will result in the Fund recognizing taxable gain to the extent of unrealized gain, if any, on securities transferred to the Subsidiary while any unrealized losses on securities so transferred will not be recognized at the time of transfer.
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 the investment adviser of IMMF, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to 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.
Investment in Oppenheimer Master Funds. The Fund is permitted to invest in entities sponsored and/or advised by the Manager or an affiliate. Certain of these entities in which
58 | OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND |
the Fund invests are mutual funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that expect to be treated as partnerships for tax purposes, specifically Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC and Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund, LLC (the “Master Funds”). Each Master Fund has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Fund’s investments and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in one Master Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Master Fund.
The investment objective of Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC is to seek as high a level of current income and preservation of capital as is consistent with investing primarily in loans and other debt securities. The investment objective of Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund, LLC is to seek a high level of current income principally derived from interest on debt securities. The Fund’s investments in the Master Funds are included in the Statement of Investments. The Fund recognizes income and gain/(loss) on its investments in each Master Fund according to its allocated pro-rata share, based on its relative proportion of total outstanding Master Fund shares held, of the total net income earned and the net gain/(loss) realized on investments sold by the Master Funds. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Master Funds’ expenses, including their 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 the Master Funds.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.
Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes 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
OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND | 59 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
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.
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year. Details of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012 capital loss carryforwards are included in the table below. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration, if any, must be utilized prior to those with expiration dates. Capital losses with no expiration will be carried forward to future years if not offset by gains.
Expiring | ||||
2016 | $ | 427,992,945 | ||
2017 | 410,473,446 | |||
No expiration | 56,588,448 | |||
Total | $ | 895,054,839 | ||
As of April 30, 2013, it is estimated that the capital loss carryforwards would be $838,466,391 expiring by 2017 and $21,467,947 which will not expire. The estimated capital loss carryforward represents the carryforward as of the end of the last fiscal year, increased or decreased by capital losses or gains realized in the first six months of the current fiscal year. During the six months ended April 30, 2013, it is estimated that the Fund will utilize $35,120,501 of capital loss carryforward to offset realized capital gains.
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.
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, 2013 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.
60 | OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND |
Federal tax cost of securities | $ | 1,573,813,725 | ||
Federal tax cost of other investments | (85,759,485 | ) | ||
Total federal tax cost | $ | 1,488,054,240 | ||
Gross unrealized appreciation | $ | 252,765,695 | ||
Gross unrealized depreciation | (43,258,572 | ) | ||
Net unrealized appreciation | $ | 209,507,123 | ||
Certain foreign countries impose a tax on capital gains which is accrued by the Fund based on unrealized appreciation, if any, on affected securities. The tax is paid when the gain is realized.
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 six months ended April 30, 2013, the Fund’s projected benefit obligations, payments to retired trustees and accumulated liability were as follows:
Projected Benefit Obligations Increased | $ | 2,099 | ||
Payments Made to Retired Trustees | 91,583 | |||
Accumulated Liability as of April 30, 2013 | 662,255 |
The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with 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 distributions, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made to shareholders prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may ultimately be categorized as a tax return of capital.
OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND | 61 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
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 (except for the investments in the Subsidiary) are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. 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
62 | OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND |
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.
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.
OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND | 63 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
2. Securities Valuation Continued
Structured securities, swaps, swaptions, and other over-the-counter derivatives are valued utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers.
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued utilizing current and forward currency rates obtained from third party pricing services. When the settlement date of a contract is an interim date for which a quotation is not available, interpolated values are derived using the nearest dated forward currency rate.
Futures contracts and futures options traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.
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. | |
Structured securities | Relevant market information such as the price of underlying financial instruments, stock market indices, foreign currencies, interest rate spreads, commodities, or the occurrence of other specific events. |
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
64 | OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND |
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.
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.

**Transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 because of the absence of a readily available unadjusted quoted market price due to a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets were valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges.
The net asset value per share of the Subsidiary is determined as of the close of the Exchange, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. The net asset value per share is determined by dividing the value of the Subsidiary’s net assets by the number of shares that are outstanding. The Subsidiary values its investments in the same manner as the Fund as described above.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates Continued
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. However, the Fund’s Board has currently set the rate at 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.

6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments
The Fund’s investment objectives not only permit the Fund to purchase investment securities, they also allow the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. Central to those strategies are features inherent to derivatives that make them more attractive for this purpose than equity and debt securities: they require little or no initial cash investment, they can focus exposure on only certain selected risk factors, and they may not require the ultimate receipt or delivery of the underlying security (or securities) to the contract. This may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors.
Market Risk Factors. In accordance with its investment objectives, the Fund may use derivatives to increase or decrease its exposure to one or more of the following market risk factors:
Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.
Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield bonds are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.
Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.
OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND | 71 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments Continued
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.
Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.
The Fund’s actual exposures to these market risk factors during the period are discussed in further detail, by derivative type, below.
Risks of Investing in Derivatives. The Fund’s use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.
Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance.
Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Associated risks can be different for each type of derivative and are discussed by each derivative type in the notes that follow.
Counterparty Credit Risk. Certain derivative positions are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Fund’s derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to
72 | OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND |
market conditions that may weaken their financial position. The Fund intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. As of April 30, 2013, the maximum amount of loss that the Fund would incur if the counterparties to its derivative transactions failed to perform would be $3,640,820, which represents gross payments to be received by the Fund on these derivative contracts were they to be unwound as of period end. To reduce this risk the Fund has entered into master netting arrangements, established within the Fund’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements, which allow the Fund to net unrealized appreciation and depreciation for certain positions in swaps, over-the-counter options, swaptions, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty. The amount of loss that the Fund would incur taking into account these master netting arrangements would be $3,638,773 as of April 30, 2013. In addition, the Fund may require that certain counterparties post cash and/or securities in collateral accounts to cover their net payment obligations for those derivative contracts subject to International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements. If the counterparty fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities will be made available to the Fund.
As of April 30, 2013 the Fund has required certain counterparties to post collateral of $4,849,855.
Credit Related Contingent Features. The Fund’s agreements with derivative counterparties have several credit related contingent features that if triggered would allow its derivatives counterparties to close out and demand payment or additional collateral to cover their exposure from the Fund. Credit related contingent features are established between the Fund and its derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that the Fund will not fulfill its payment obligations to its counterparties. These triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in the Fund’s net assets and or a percentage decrease in the Fund’s Net Asset Value or NAV. The contingent features are established within the Fund’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements which govern certain positions in swaps, over-the-counter options and swaptions, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date.
Forward contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. The 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 certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts of different currencies in order to acquire currencies to pay for or sell currencies to acquire related foreign securities purchase and sale transactions, respectively, or to convert foreign currencies to U.S. dollars from related foreign securities transactions. These foreign currency exchange contracts are negotiated at the current spot exchange rate with settlement typically within two business days thereafter.
During the six months ended April 30, 2013, the Fund had daily average contract amounts on forward foreign currency contracts to buy and sell of $677,300 and $1,248,048, respectively.
Additional associated risk to the Fund includes counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will default.
Futures Contracts
A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a financial instrument, or currency, at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts.
Futures contracts traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.
OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND | 75 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments Continued
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses.
Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.
The Fund has purchased futures contracts on various bonds and notes to increase exposure to interest rate risk.
The Fund has sold futures contracts on various bonds and notes to decrease exposure to interest rate risk.
The Fund has sold futures contracts on various equity indexes to decrease exposure to equity risk.
The Fund has purchased futures contracts, which have values that are linked to the price movement of the related volatility indexes, in order to increase exposure to volatility risk.
The Fund has sold futures contracts, which have values that are linked to the price movement of the related volatility indexes, in order to decrease exposure to volatility risk.
During the six months ended April 30, 2013, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $49,564,906 and $132,961,777 on futures contracts purchased and sold, respectively.
Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.
Option Activity
The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and call options. When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell or purchase the underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option.
Options are valued daily based upon the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the option is traded. The difference between the premium received or paid, and market value of the option, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased or the
76 | OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND |
proceeds of the security sale are adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction, a gain or loss is reported in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund has purchased put options on currencies to decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. A purchased put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.
The Fund has purchased call options on individual equity securities and/or equity indexes to increase exposure to equity risk. A purchased call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price.
The Fund has purchased put options on individual equity securities and/or equity indexes to decrease exposure to equity risk. A purchased put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.
The Fund has purchased call options on treasury and/or euro futures to increase exposure to interest rate risk. A purchased call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price.
The Fund has purchased call options on volatility indexes to increase exposure to volatility risk. A purchased call option becomes more valuable as the level of the underlying volatility index increases relative to the strike price.
During the six months ended April 30, 2013, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $8,024,028 and $2,724,124 on purchased call options and purchased put options, respectively.
Options written, if any, are reported in a schedule following the Statement of Investments and as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover potential obligations with respect to outstanding written options are noted in the Statement of Investments.
The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to close the contract.
The Fund has written put options on individual equity securities and/or equity indexes to increase exposure to equity risk. A written put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price.
The Fund has written call options on individual equity securities and/or equity indexes to decrease exposure to equity risk. A written call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.

8. Loan Commitments
Pursuant to the terms of certain credit agreements, the Fund can have unfunded loan commitments. The Fund generally will maintain with its custodian, liquid investments having an aggregate value at least equal to the par value of unfunded loan commitments. As of April 30, 2013, the Fund is contractually obligated to fund commitments of $32,925 by a specified date; these unfunded commitments have been included as Corporate Loans in the Statement of Investments.
9. Pending Litigation
Since 2009, a number of class action lawsuits have been pending in federal courts 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 the Manager and distributed by the Distributor (the “Defendant Funds”). Several of these lawsuits also name as defendants certain officers and current and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The lawsuits raise claims under federal
78 | OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND |
securities law and allege, 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 seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to represent the Funds and the present and former Independent Trustees named in those suits.
Other class action and individual lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts against OFI and certain of its affiliates by investors seeking to recover investments they allegedly lost as a result of the “Ponzi” scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff and his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC (“BLMIS”). Plaintiffs in these suits allege that they suffered losses as a result of their investments in several funds managed by an affiliate of OFI and assert 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 awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. Neither the Distributor, nor any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds, their independent trustees or directors are named as defendants in these lawsuits. None of the Oppenheimer mutual funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff or BLMIS. On February 28, 2011, a stipulation of partial settlement of three groups of consolidated putative class action lawsuits relating to these matters was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On August 19, 2011, the court entered an order and final judgment approving the settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate. In September 2011, certain parties filed notices of appeal from the court’s order approving the settlement. The settlement does not resolve other outstanding lawsuits against OFI and its affiliates relating to BLMIS.
On April 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against (i) OFI, (ii) an affiliate of OFI and (iii) AAArdvark IV Funding Limited (“AAArdvark IV”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark IV. Plaintiffs allege breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seek compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On April 11, 2013, the court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment, dismissing plaintiffs’ fraud claim with prejudice and dismissing their contract claim without prejudice, and granted plaintiffs leave to replead their contract claim to assert a cause of action for specific performance within 30 days. On May 9, 2013, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the court’s dismissal order. On July 15, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark Funding Limited (“AAArdvark I”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark I. The complaint alleges breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 9, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark XS Funding Limited (“AAArdvark XS”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in

9. Pending Litigation Continued
AAArdvark XS. The complaint alleges breach of contract against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees.
OFI believes the lawsuits and appeals described above are without legal merit and, with the exception of actions it has settled, is defending against them vigorously. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, OFI believes that these suits should not impair the ability of OFI 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 mutual funds.

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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Global Allocation Fund (Cayman) Ltd. (the “Fund”) is organized as a Cayman Islands Company Limited by Shares. The Fund intends to carry on the business of an investment company and to acquire, invest in and hold by way of investment, sell and deal primarily in commodity-linked derivatives (including commodity futures, financial futures, options and swap contracts) and exchange traded funds (“ETF”). The Fund’s investment adviser was OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”) through December 31, 2012. Effective January 1, 2013, the Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI. The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI, as of the same effective date. As of April 30, 2013, 100% of the Fund was owned by Oppenheimer Global Allocation Fund (“OGAF”). OFI Global is also the investment adviser of OGAF.
The beneficial interest of each investor in the Fund is represented by units of participating shares. The Fund’s directors may further designate classes of participating shares and series within each class. As of April 30, 2013, the directors have not designated classes or series of outstanding participating shares. During the six months ended April 30, 2013, all income, profits, losses and expenses, if any, of the Fund were allocated pro rata to all participating shares of the Fund. Issuance of additional participating shares is at the discretion of the Fund’s directors.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Income Taxes. The Fund has received an undertaking from the Government of the Cayman Islands exempting it from all local income, profits and capital gains taxes through September of 2030. No such taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the present time. The Fund is a Controlled Foreign Corporation under U.S. tax laws and as such is not subject to U.S. income tax. Therefore, the Fund is not required to record a tax provision.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, if any, are declared and paid annually from the Fund’s tax basis earnings and profits. Distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made to shareholders prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may ultimately be categorized as a tax return of capital.
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
88 | OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND |
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 directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Capital Transactions
The Fund has authorized 5,000,000 participating shares of $0.01 par value per share. The Fund issued 2,921.46 participating shares for $292,146 on May 12, 2011 in conjunction with OGAF’s initial capitalization of the Fund. All subsequent capital contributions and withdrawals did not have participating shares associated with the transaction.
Capital transactions were as follows:
Six Months Ended April 30, 2013 | Year Ended October 31, | |||||||
Contributions | $ | — | $ | 15,790,999 | ||||
Withdrawals | — | (91,526,570 | ) | |||||

3. Expenses
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 $1.0 billion | 0.80 | % | ||
Next $2.0 billion | 0.76 | |||
Next $1.0 billion | 0.71 | |||

Next $1.0 billion | 0.55 | |||
Next $2.0 billion | 0.50 | |||
Over $9.0 billion | 0.48 |
Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager retains the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser a fee in monthly installments. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

5. Pending Litigation
Since 2009, a number of class action lawsuits have been pending in federal courts 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 the Manager and distributed by the Distributor (the “Defendant Funds”). Several of these lawsuits also name as defendants certain officers and current and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds.

They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.

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. Fund returns include changes in share price, reinvested distributions, and a 5.75% maximum applicable sales charge except where “without sales charge” is indicated. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Returns do not consider capital gains or income taxes on an individual’s investment. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit oppenheimerfunds.com or call 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677).

The Fund’s Class A shares (without sales charge) produced a return of 3.26% during the period. The largest contributor to the Fund’s absolute performance was the long equity strategy, followed by the opportunistic fixed income and alternative strategy. The Fund’s short equity strategy detracted from absolute performance. On a relative basis, the Fund underperformed the HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index (the “Index”), which returned 6.35%.
MARKET OVERVIEW
Equity markets rallied this period as central banks throughout the world continued to take measures intended to promote market liquidity and stimulate greater economic growth. In September 2012, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) embarked on a new round of open-ended quantitative easing involving monthly purchases of $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government agencies, also known as “QE3”. During the period, the Fed increased its monthly purchases to $85 billion. The Fed also stated its intention to leave interest rates at low levels through at least mid-2015. Meanwhile, the head of the European Central Bank (the “ECB”) had reassured investors that the ECB was committed to supporting the Eurozone, and the ECB signaled its conditional intention to purchase massive amounts of debt from troubled members of the European Union. Even in Japan, which had been mired in economic weakness for years, new government leadership adopted economic policies and the central bank announced a massive quantitative easing program.
While these measures helped trigger a rally in equities and higher yielding asset classes,
we remain concerned with the fundamental economic picture as a number of indicators remained volatile this period. Although the housing market continued to show signs of improvement, home sales experienced their biggest decline in two years in February, and durable goods orders ex-aircraft also fell that month. In March, retail sales experienced their largest decline in nine months and the number of new jobs created increased at a lower than estimated rate. The number of new jobs report was stronger than expected, but the economy continued to recover at a very slow pace.
FUND REVIEW
In the Fund’s equity long strategy, the strongest contributors to performance were The Mosaic Co., Lyondellbasell Industries NV and Cinemark Holdings, Inc. Mosaic, a miner of phosphate and potash, performed positively largely due to increased optimism around fertilizer volume and pricing. Lyondellbasell is a chemical company that processes ethane feedstock. The company benefited as ethane feedstock prices continued to decline, boosting margins relative to competitors that process naphtha-based feedstock. We
OPPENHEIMER FLEXIBLE STRATEGIES FUND | 3 |
believe ethane prices have the potential to remain favorable for the foreseeable future. In our opinion, Lyondellbasell also continued to manage its balance sheet in a shareholder friendly way this period and we believe increasing dividends and buybacks may continue. Cinemark Holdings, a global movie theatre operator, experienced strong box office results that reached a record level in 2012. The company also benefited from an above average dividend yield and announced plans to acquire Rave Cinemas, which has 32 theatres containing 483 screens. We also believe Cinemark is a large industry player that is poised to benefit from the move from analog to digital that smaller players cannot afford to make.
Detractors from performance in the equity long strategy included Apple, Inc., Bond Street Holdings LLC and M&T Bank Corp. Apple has been impacted by a couple of issues. First, there has been some concern around the current growth rate for the smartphone market, particularly in the premium end in which Apple primarily competes. While we acknowledge industry growth could slow as the market matures, we still see ample opportunity for Apple to show volume growth acceleration from current levels. For instance, we still view the market in China as under-penetrated and Apple has strong brand equity and operational momentum there. A second issue impacting Apple has been concern over Samsung’s impact on the competitive environment. While Samsung was successful in driving innovation last year by introducing
larger-screen phones, their most recent flagship product has met with only a lukewarm reception. We view this as a positive relative to Apple’s market share and it reduces the concern around future pressure to smartphone gross margins.
Bond Street is a privately held bank that was set up during the financial crisis to purchase failed banks in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-assisted transactions, which it did successfully. However, several shareholders exited their positions, putting pressure on the stock. The bank is eventually looking to go public. M&T Bank Corp. detracted from performance primarily due to the delay in regulatory approval for its acquisition of Hudson City Bancorp.
The Fund’s short equity strategy detracted from absolute performance this period. Among the detractors was a stock swap on European mid-cap equities, which hurt performance as central bank policy bolstered the markets despite deteriorating fundamentals. The Fund did have several contributors in the short equity strategy, as our shorts of certain iron ore and coal companies benefited performance. As demand for steel in China declined, so did the prices of iron ore and other raw material suppliers. We believe that the world and particularly China has excess steel-making capacity, and as a result, raw material suppliers to steel companies also have excess capacity. A short position in JCPenney also benefited the Fund as flaws were seen in its turnaround plan. We exited the position.
4 | OPPENHEIMER FLEXIBLE STRATEGIES FUND |
The opportunistic fixed-income and alternative strategy performed well during the period. Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC, which invests in senior floating rate loans, drove the performance in this area. Domestic non-investment-grade markets responded positively to improved sentiment and there were significant inflows into both high yield bonds and senior floating rate loans. The heavier flows into high yield bonds, however, stretched valuations versus loans. Therefore, we believe that the senior loans remain attractively positioned and continue to provide potential protection if and when interest rates rise. Also benefiting performance were our positions in asset-backed securities on first-lien mortgages. During the period, the housing market continued to strengthen, which benefited the securities. Detractors in this strategy were limited, but certain hedging strategies against rising volatility did not perform well in the midst of the rally in risk markets.
STRATEGY & OUTLOOK
In our view, the tail risks are significant in Europe. The banking system and many sovereigns remain over-levered, and the policies of austerity are stunting growth, preventing many countries from moving beyond the current stasis. The banking crisis in Cyprus is merely the most recent reminder. Portuguese courts have ruled against austerity, the Italians and French have voted against it, Greece cannot implement it, and Germany is left trying to enforce it. There will be a German election in the fall. These events will increase uncertainty and have the potential to destabilize the
status quo. Simply put, we believe this is a recipe for continued turmoil. At the same time, the Bank of Japan (the “BoJ”) has embarked on an audacious experiment in monetary policy, with the predictable result of causing a stunning decline in the yen. We doubt the BoJ’s new policy will achieve its intended goal (i.e., stimulating growth) in part because its benefits will largely be offset by import headwinds. However, the real effects won’t be known for several years, although we expect there will be unintended consequences for both Japan and the world.
More broadly, monetary policy has been the only game in town recently, and central bank interventions have worked to bring down rates dramatically. How will this evolve going forward? No one knows for certain, but after a massive credit expansion and 32-year bull run in bonds, we believe any sort of rate normalization will be detrimental. All of this means the current outlook is fragile, and we believe the U.S. remains better positioned than the rest of the developed world. In light of this, we continue to search for opportunities to generate strong risk-adjusted returns, deliver an attractive yield through a low volatility strategy that has good downside protection, and utilize the flexibility of multiple asset classes to hedge the key tail risks we see.

*Shows performance since inception.
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. Returns do not consider capital gains or income taxes on an individual’s investment. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit oppenheimerfunds.com or call 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677). 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 deferred sales charge of 1% for the 1-year period. There is no sales charge for Class I and Y shares. Because Class B shares convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase, the 10-year return for Class B shares uses Class A performance for the period after conversion. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized.
The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index and the HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index. The S&P 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks intended to be a representative sample of leading companies in
8 | OPPENHEIMER FLEXIBLE STRATEGIES FUND |
leading industries within the U.S. economy. The HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index is a global, equal-weighted index of over 2,000 single-manager funds that report to HFR Database. Constituent funds report monthly net of all fees performance in U.S. Dollars and have a minimum of $50 million under management or a twelve (12) month track record of active performance. The HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index’s returns are calculated three times each month and are subject to periodic recalculation by Hedge Fund Research, Inc. As a result, the HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index returns shown may differ from the same Index’s returns for the same period published elsewhere. If subsequent recalculations cause the Index’s returns to change, the Fund does not expect to update the Index returns. Indices are unmanaged and cannot be purchased by investors. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.
The Fund’s investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. or its affiliates.
Before investing in any of the Oppenheimer funds, investors should carefully consider a fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses contain this and other information about the funds, and may be obtained by asking your financial advisor, visiting oppenheimerfunds.com, or calling 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677). Read prospectuses and summary prospectuses carefully before investing.

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 (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, 2013.
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS April 30, 2013 / Unaudited
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Flexible Strategies Fund (the “Fund”) a series of Oppenheimer Quest For Value Funds, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek growth of capital. The Fund’s investment adviser was OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”), through December 31, 2012. Effective January 1, 2013, the Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI. The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI, as of the same effective date.
The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class I, Class N and Class Y shares, and previously offered Class B shares for new purchase through June 29, 2012. Subsequent to that date, no new purchases of Class B shares are permitted, however reinvestment of dividend and/or capital gain distributions and exchanges of Class B shares into and from other Oppenheimer funds will be allowed. 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 N shares are sold, and Class B shares were 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 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, B, C and N shares have separate distribution and/or service plans under which they pay fees. Class I and Class Y shares do not pay such fees. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares 72 months after the date of purchase. Class I shares were first publicly offered on February 28, 2013.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Structured Securities. The Fund invests in structured securities whose market values, interest rates and/or redemption prices are linked to the performance of underlying foreign currencies, interest rate spreads, stock market indices, prices of individual securities, commodities or other financial instruments or the occurrence of other specific events. The structured securities are often leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note’s market value relative to the change in the underlying linked financial element or event. Fluctuations in value of these securities are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The Fund records a realized gain or loss when a structured security is sold or matures.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
Securities Sold Short. The Fund sells securities that it does not own, and it will therefore be obligated to purchase such securities at a future date. Upon entering into a short position, the Fund is required to segregate cash or securities at its custodian which are pledged for the benefit of the lending broker and/or to deposit and pledge cash directly at the lending broker, with a value equal to a certain percentage, exceeding 100%, of the value of the securities that it sold short. Cash that has been segregated and pledged for this purpose will be disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; securities that have been segregated and pledged for this purpose are disclosed as such in the Statement of Investments. The aggregate market value of such cash and securities at period end is $280,488,551. The value of the open short position is recorded as a liability, and the Fund records an unrealized gain or loss to the extent of the difference between the proceeds received and the change in value of the open short position. The Fund records a realized gain or loss when the short position is closed out. By entering into short sales, the Fund bears the market risk of increases in value of the security sold short in excess of the proceeds received. Until the security is replaced, the Fund is required to pay the lender any dividend or interest earned. Dividend expense on short sales is treated as an expense in the Statement of Operations.
Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis. “When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis normally takes place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When the Fund engages in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield it considers advantageous. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued basis or forward commitment prior to settlement of the original purchase.
As of April 30, 2013, the Fund had purchased securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis and sold securities issued on a delayed delivery basis as follows:
When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis Transactions | ||||
Purchased securities | $ | 27,022,258 |
Investment in Oppenheimer Flexible Strategies Fund (Cayman) Ltd. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in Oppenheimer Flexible Strategies Fund (Cayman) Ltd., a wholly-owned and controlled Cayman Islands subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”). The
36 | OPPENHEIMER FLEXIBLE STRATEGIES FUND |
Subsidiary invests primarily in commodity-linked derivatives (including commodity futures, financial futures, options and swap contracts) and exchange-traded funds related to gold or other special minerals. The Subsidiary may also invest in certain fixed-income securities and other investments that may serve as margin or collateral for its derivatives positions. The Fund wholly owns and controls the Subsidiary, and the Fund and Subsidiary are both managed by the Manager.
The Fund does not consolidate the assets, liabilities, capital or operations of the Subsidiary into its financial statements. Rather, the Subsidiary is separately presented as an investment in the Fund’s Statement of Investments. Shares of the Subsidiary are valued at their net asset value per share. Gains or losses on withdrawals of capital from the Subsidiary by the Fund are recognized on an average cost basis. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary is recorded in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Fund’s Statement of Operations. Distributions received from the Subsidiary are recorded as income on the ex-dividend date.
For tax purposes, the Subsidiary is an exempted Cayman investment company. The Subsidiary has received an undertaking from the Government of the Cayman Islands exempting it from all local income, profits and capital gains taxes through September of 2030. No such taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes, the Subsidiary is a Controlled Foreign Corporation and as such is not subject to U.S. income tax. However, as a wholly-owned Controlled Foreign Corporation, the Subsidiary’s net income and capital gain, to the extent of its earnings and profits, will be included each year in the Fund’s investment company taxable income. For the six months ended April 30, 2013, the Subsidiary has a deficit of $12,104 in its taxable earnings and profits. In addition, any in-kind capital contributions made by the Fund to the Subsidiary will result in the Fund recognizing taxable gain to the extent of unrealized gain, if any, on securities transferred to the Subsidiary while any unrealized losses on securities so transferred will not be recognized at the time of transfer.
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 the investment adviser of IMMF, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to 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.

Investment in Oppenheimer Master Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest in entities sponsored and/or advised by the Manager or an affiliate. Certain of these entities in which the Fund invests are mutual funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that expect to be treated as partnerships for tax purposes, specifically Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC (the “Master Fund”). The Master Fund has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Fund’s investments and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in the Master Fund, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of the Master Fund.
The investment objective of the Master Fund is to seek as high a level of current income and preservation of capital as is consistent with investing primarily in loans and other debt securities. The Fund’s investment in the Master Fund is included in the Statement of Investments. The Fund recognizes income and gain/(loss) on its investment in the master fund according to its allocated pro-rata share, based on its relative proportion of total outstanding Master Fund shares held, of the total net income earned and the net gain/(loss) realized on investments sold by the Master Fund. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Master Fund’s 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 the Master Fund.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.
Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes 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.
38 | OPPENHEIMER FLEXIBLE STRATEGIES FUND |
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.
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year. The Fund had $169,405 of straddle losses which were deferred. Details of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012 capital loss carryforwards are included in the table below. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration, if any, must be utilized prior to those with expiration dates. Capital losses with no expiration will be carried forward to future years if not offset by gains.
Expiring | ||||
No expiration | $ | 125,331,289 |
As of April 30, 2013, it is estimated that the capital loss carryforwards would be $116,460,335 which will not expire. The estimated capital loss carryforward represents the carryforward as of the end of the last fiscal year, increased or decreased by capital losses or gains realized in the first six months of the current fiscal year. During the six months ended April 30, 2013, it is estimated that the Fund will utilize $8,870,954 of capital loss carryforward to offset realized capital gains.
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.
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, 2013 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 | $ | 875,970,136 | ||
Federal tax cost of other investments | (205,960,935 | ) | ||
Total federal tax cost | $ | 670,009,201 | ||
Gross unrealized appreciation | $ | 120,331,830 | ||
Gross unrealized depreciation | (57,858,172 | ) | ||
Net unrealized appreciation | $ | 62,473,658 | ||

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 six months ended April 30, 2013, the Fund’s projected benefit obligations, payments to retired trustees and accumulated liability were as follows:
Projected Benefit Obligations Increased | $ | 1,117 | ||
Payments Made to Retired Trustees | 25,836 | |||
Accumulated Liability as of April 30, 2013 | 187,347 |
The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with 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. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made to shareholders prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may ultimately be categorized as a tax return of capital.
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
40 | OPPENHEIMER FLEXIBLE STRATEGIES FUND |
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 (except for the investments in the Subsidiary) are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. 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.
OPPENHEIMER FLEXIBLE STRATEGIES FUND | 41 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
2. Securities Valuation Continued
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.
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.
Structured securities, swaps, swaptions, and other over-the-counter derivatives are valued utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers.
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued utilizing current and forward currency rates obtained from third party pricing services. When the settlement date of a contract is an interim date for which a quotation is not available, interpolated values are derived using the nearest dated forward currency rate.
Futures contracts and futures options traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as
42 | OPPENHEIMER FLEXIBLE STRATEGIES FUND |
reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.
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. | |
Structured securities | Relevant market information such as the price of underlying financial instruments, stock market indices, foreign currencies, interest rate spreads, commodities, or the occurrence of other specific events. | |
Swaps | Relevant market information, including underlying reference assets such as credit spreads, credit event probabilities, index values, individual security values, forward interest rates, variable interest rates, volatility measures, and forward currency rates. |
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.
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
OPPENHEIMER FLEXIBLE STRATEGIES FUND | 43 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
2. Securities Valuation Continued
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, 2013 based on valuation input level:

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.
Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (“OFS”), a division of OFI, acted as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund through December 31, 2012. Effective January 1, 2013, OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a per account fee.
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. The Transfer Agent may voluntarily waive the minimum fees.
Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. Effective January 1, 2013, 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.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates Continued
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.
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 at an annual rate 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. However, the Fund’s Board has currently set the rate at 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 March 31, 2013 were as follows:
Class C | $ | 11,971,971 | ||
Class N | 1,091,408 |
Sales Charges. Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) do not represent expenses of the Fund. They are deducted from the proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment or from redemption proceeds prior to remittance, as applicable. The sales charges retained by the Distributor from the sale of shares and the CDSC retained by the Distributor on the redemption of shares is shown in the following table for the period indicated.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive the management fee it receives from the Fund in an amount equal to the management fee it receives from the Subsidiary. This undertaking will continue in effect for so long as the Fund invests in the Subsidiary and may not be terminated unless approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. During the six months ended April 30, 2013, the Manager waived $12,876.
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 underlying funds managed by the Manager or its affiliates. During the six months ended April 30, 2013, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $292,153 for management fees.
The Transfer Agent has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for Classes B, C, N and Y shares to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class and for Class A shares to 0.30% of average annual net assets of the class.
During the six months ended April 30, 2013, the Transfer Agent waived transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees as follows:
Class B | $ | 25,235 |
Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time; some may not be modified or terminated until after one year from the date of the current prospectus, as indicated therein.
6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments
The Fund’s investment objectives not only permit the Fund to purchase investment securities, they also allow the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. Central to those strategies are features inherent to derivatives that make them more attractive for this purpose than equity and debt securities: they require little or no initial cash investment, they can focus exposure on only certain selected risk factors, and they may not require the ultimate receipt or delivery of the underlying security (or securities) to the contract. This may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors.
Market Risk Factors. In accordance with its investment objectives, the Fund may use derivatives to increase or decrease its exposure to one or more of the following market risk factors:
Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.
OPPENHEIMER FLEXIBLE STRATEGIES FUND | 49 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments Continued
Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield bonds are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.
Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.
Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.
The Fund’s actual exposures to these market risk factors during the period are discussed in further detail, by derivative type, below.
Risks of Investing in Derivatives. The Fund’s use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.
Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance.
Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and
50 | OPPENHEIMER FLEXIBLE STRATEGIES FUND |
counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Associated risks can be different for each type of derivative and are discussed by each derivative type in the notes that follow.
Counterparty Credit Risk. Certain derivative positions are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Fund’s derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. The Fund intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. As of April 30, 2013, the maximum amount of loss that the Fund would incur if the counterparties to its derivative transactions failed to perform would be $8,809,340, which represents gross payments to be received by the Fund on these derivative contracts were they to be unwound as of period end. To reduce this risk the Fund has entered into master netting arrangements, established within the Fund’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements, which allow the Fund to net unrealized appreciation and depreciation for certain positions in swaps, over-the-counter options, swaptions, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty. The amount of loss that the Fund would incur taking into account these master netting arrangements would be $7,814,577 as of April 30, 2013. In addition, the Fund may require that certain counterparties post cash and/or securities in collateral accounts to cover their net payment obligations for those derivative contracts subject to International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements. If the counterparty fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities will be made available to the Fund.
As of April 30, 2013 the Fund has required certain counterparties to post collateral of $6,769,769.
Credit Related Contingent Features. The Fund’s agreements with derivative counterparties have several credit related contingent features that if triggered would allow its derivatives counterparties to close out and demand payment or additional collateral to cover their exposure from the Fund. Credit related contingent features are established between the Fund and its derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that the Fund will not fulfill its payment obligations to its counterparties. These triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in the Fund’s net assets and or a percentage decrease in the Fund’s Net Asset Value or NAV. The contingent features are established within the Fund’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements which govern certain positions in swaps, over-the-counter options and swaptions, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty.
As of April 30, 2013, the aggregate fair value of derivative instruments with credit related contingent features in a net liability position was $577,855 for which collateral was not posted by the Fund. If a contingent feature would have been triggered as of April 30, 2013, the Fund could have been required to pay this amount in cash to its counterparties.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date.
Forward contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. The 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 certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts of different currencies in order to acquire currencies to pay for or sell currencies to acquire related foreign securities purchase and sale transactions, respectively, or to convert foreign currencies to U.S. dollars from related foreign securities transactions. These foreign currency exchange contracts are negotiated at the current spot exchange rate with settlement typically within two business days thereafter.
The Fund has entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts with the obligation to purchase specified foreign currencies in the future at a currently negotiated forward rate in order to take a positive investment perspective on the related currency. These forward foreign currency exchange contracts seek to increase exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.
The Fund has entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts with the obligation to purchase specified foreign currencies in the future at a currently negotiated forward rate in order to decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency denominated securities held by the Fund.

forward rate in order to decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency denominated securities held by the Fund.
During the six months ended April 30, 2013, the Fund had daily average contract amounts on forward foreign currency contracts to buy and sell of $2,081,873 and $66,776,504, respectively.
Additional associated risk to the Fund includes counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will default.
Futures Contracts
A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a financial instrument, or currency, at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts.
Futures contracts traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses.
Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.
The Fund has sold futures contracts on various bonds and notes to decrease exposure to interest rate risk.
The Fund has purchased futures contracts, which have values that are linked to the price movement of the related volatility indexes, in order to increase exposure to volatility risk.
The Fund has sold futures contracts, which have values that are linked to the price movement of the related volatility indexes, in order to decrease exposure to volatility risk.
During the six months ended April 30, 2013, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $2,073,764 and $9,852,331 on futures contracts purchased and sold, respectively.
Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.
54 | OPPENHEIMER FLEXIBLE STRATEGIES FUND |
Option Activity
The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and call options. When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell or purchase the underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option.
Options are valued daily based upon the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the option is traded. The difference between the premium received or paid, and market value of the option, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased or the proceeds of the security sale are adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction, a gain or loss is reported in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund has purchased call options on treasury and/or euro futures to increase exposure to interest rate risk. A purchased call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price.
During the six months ended April 30, 2013, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $82,031 on purchased call options.
Options written, if any, are reported in a schedule following the Statement of Investments and as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover potential obligations with respect to outstanding written options are noted in the Statement of Investments.
The risk in writing a call option is that Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to close the contract.
Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk for over-the-counter options and liquidity risk.
As of April 30, 2013, the Fund had no outstanding written or purchased options.
Swap Contracts
The Fund may enter into swap contract agreements with a counterparty to exchange a series of cash flows based on either specified reference rates, or the occurrence of a credit event, over a specified period. Such contracts may include interest rate, equity, debt, index, total return, credit and currency swaps.
Swaps are marked to market daily using primarily quotations from pricing services, counterparties and brokers. Swap contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. The values of swap contracts are aggregated by positive and negative values and disclosed separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by contracts in unrealized appreciation and depreciation positions. Upfront payments paid or received, if any, affect the value of the respective swap. Therefore, to determine the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swaps, upfront payments paid should be
OPPENHEIMER FLEXIBLE STRATEGIES FUND | 55 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments Continued
subtracted from, while upfront payments received should be added to, the value of contracts reported as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Conversely, upfront payments paid should be added to, while upfront payments received should be subtracted from the value of contracts reported as a liability. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) related to the change in the valuation of the notional amount of the swap is combined with the accrued interest due to (owed by) the Fund at termination or settlement. The net change in this amount during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The Fund also records any periodic payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, under such contracts as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations.
Swap contract agreements are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying reference asset. Swap contracts are typically more attractively priced compared to similar investments in related cash securities because they isolate the risk to one market risk factor and eliminate the other market risk factors. Investments in cash securities (for instance bonds) have exposure to multiple risk factors (credit and interest rate risk). Because swaps require little or no initial cash investment, they can expose the Fund to substantial risk in the isolated market risk factor.
Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a bilateral contract that enables an investor to buy or sell protection on a debt security against a defined-issuer credit event, such as the issuer’s failure to make timely payments of interest or principal on the debt security, bankruptcy or restructuring. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps either by buying or selling protection on a single security or a basket of securities (the “reference asset”).
The buyer of protection pays a periodic fee to the seller of protection based on the notional amount of debt securities underlying the swap contract. The seller of protection agrees to compensate the buyer of protection for future potential losses as a result of a credit event on the reference asset. The contract effectively transfers the credit event risk of the reference asset from the buyer of protection to the seller of protection.
The ongoing value of the contract will fluctuate throughout the term of the contract based primarily on the credit risk of the reference asset. If the credit quality of the reference asset improves relative to the credit quality at contract initiation, the buyer of protection may have an unrealized loss greater than the anticipated periodic fee owed. This unrealized loss would be the result of current credit protection being cheaper than the cost of credit protection at contract initiation. If the buyer elects to terminate the contract prior to its maturity, and there has been no credit event, this unrealized loss will become realized. If the contract is held to maturity, and there has been no credit event, the realized loss will be equal to the periodic fee paid over the life of the contract.
If there is a credit event, the buyer of protection can exercise its rights under the contract and receive a payment from the seller of protection equal to the notional
56 | OPPENHEIMER FLEXIBLE STRATEGIES FUND |
amount of the reference asset less the market value of the reference asset. Upon exercise of the contract the difference between the value of the underlying reference asset and the notional amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) and is included on the Statement of Operations.
The Fund has sold credit protection through credit default swaps to increase exposure to the credit risk of individual securities and/or, indexes that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractive in the bond market.
The Fund has purchased credit protection through credit default swaps to take an outright negative investment perspective on the credit risk of individual securities and/or indexes as opposed to decreasing its credit risk exposure related to similar debt securities held by the Fund.
For the six months ended April 30, 2013, the Fund had ending monthly average notional amounts of $129,768,445 and $10,714,286 on credit default swaps to buy protection and credit default swaps to sell protection, respectively.
Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.
Total Return Swap Contracts. A total return swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on asset or non-asset references. One cash flow is typically based on a non-asset reference (such as an interest rate or index) and the other on the total return of a reference asset (such as a security or a basket of securities). The total return of the reference asset typically includes appreciation or depreciation on the reference asset, plus any interest or dividend payments.
Total return swap contracts are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying financial instrument or index. Total return swaps are less standard in structure than other types of swaps and can isolate and/or, include multiple types of market risk factors including equity risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk.
The Fund has entered into total return swaps on various equity securities or indexes to increase exposure to equity risk. These equity risk related total return swaps require the Fund to pay a floating reference interest rate, or an amount equal to the negative price movement of securities or an index multiplied by the notional amount of the contract. The Fund will receive payments equal to the positive price movement of the same securities or index multiplied by the notional amount of the contract.

For the six months ended April 30, 2013, the Fund had ending monthly average notional amounts of $400,677 and $31,846,984 on total return swaps which are long the reference asset and total return swaps which are short the reference asset, respectively.
Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.
Swaption Transactions
The Fund may enter into a swaption contract which grants the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a swap transaction at preset terms detailed in the underlying agreement within a specified period of time. The purchaser pays a premium to the swaption writer who bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the preset terms on the underlying swap.
Swaptions are marked to market daily using primarily portfolio pricing services or quotations from counterparties and brokers. Purchased swaptions are reported as a component of investments in the Statement of Investments, the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations. Written swaptions are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments and their value is reported as a separate asset or liability line item in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on written swaptions is separately reported in the Statement of Operations. When a swaption is exercised, the cost of the swap is adjusted by the amount of premium paid or received. Upon the expiration or closing of an unexercised swaption contract, a gain or loss is reported in the Statement of Operations for the amount of the premium paid or received.
The Fund generally will incur a greater risk when it writes a swaption than when it purchases a swaption. When the Fund writes a swaption it will become obligated, upon exercise of the swaption, according to the terms of the underlying agreement. Swaption contracts written by the Fund do not give rise to counterparty credit risk as they obligate the Fund, not its counterparty, to perform. When the Fund purchases a swaption it only risks losing the amount of the premium it paid if the swaption expires unexercised. However, when the Fund exercises a purchased swaption there is a risk that the counterparty will fail to perform or otherwise default on its obligations under the swaption contract.
The Fund has purchased swaptions which gives it the option to enter into an interest rate swap in which it pays a fixed interest rate and receives a floating interest rate in order to decrease exposure to interest rate risk. A purchased swaption of this type becomes more valuable as the reference interest rate appreciates relative to the preset interest rate.
During the six months ended April 30, 2013, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $4,140,535 on purchased swaptions.
7. Restricted Securities
As of April 30, 2013, investments in securities included issues that are restricted. A restricted security may have a contractual restriction on its resale and is valued under

methods approved by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. Securities that are restricted are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments. Restricted securities are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments.
8. Pending Litigation
Since 2009, a number of class action lawsuits have been pending in federal courts 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 the Manager and distributed by the Distributor (the “Defendant Funds”). Several of these lawsuits also name as defendants certain officers and current and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The lawsuits raise claims under federal securities law and allege, 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 seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to represent the Funds and the present and former Independent Trustees named in those suits.
Other class action and individual lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts against OFI and certain of its affiliates by investors seeking to recover investments they allegedly lost as a result of the “Ponzi” scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff and his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC (“BLMIS”). Plaintiffs in these suits allege that they suffered losses as a result of their investments in several funds managed by an affiliate of OFI and assert 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 awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. Neither the Distributor, nor any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds, their independent trustees or directors are named as defendants in these lawsuits. None of the Oppenheimer mutual funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff or BLMIS. On February 28, 2011, a stipulation of partial settlement of three groups of consolidated putative class action lawsuits relating to these matters was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On August 19, 2011, the court entered an order and final judgment approving the settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate. In September 2011, certain parties filed notices of appeal from the court’s order approving the settlement. The settlement does not resolve other outstanding lawsuits against OFI and its affiliates relating to BLMIS.
On April 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against (i) OFI, (ii) an affiliate of OFI and (iii) AAArdvark IV Funding Limited (“AAArdvark IV”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark IV. Plaintiffs allege breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seek compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On April 11, 2013, the court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment, dismissing plaintiffs’ fraud claim with prejudice and dismissing their contract claim without prejudice,

8. Pending Litigation
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
8. Pending Litigation Continued
and granted plaintiffs leave to replead their contract claim to assert a cause of action for specific performance within 30 days. On May 9, 2013, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the court’s dismissal order. On July 15, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark Funding Limited (“AAArdvark I”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark I. The complaint alleges breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 9, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark XS Funding Limited (“AAArdvark XS”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark XS. The complaint alleges breach of contract against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees.
OFI believes the lawsuits and appeals described above are without legal merit and, with the exception of actions it has settled, is defending against them vigorously. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, OFI believes that these suits should not impair the ability of OFI 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 mutual funds.

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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS April 30, 2013 / Unaudited
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Flexible Strategies Fund (Cayman) Ltd. (the “Fund”) is organized as a Cayman Islands Company Limited by Shares. The Fund intends to carry on the business of an investment company and to acquire, invest in and hold by way of investment, sell and deal primarily in commodity-linked derivatives (including commodity futures, financial futures, options and swap contracts) and exchange-traded funds related to gold or other special minerals. The Fund may also invest in certain fixed-income securities and other investments that may serve as margin or collateral for its derivatives positions. The Fund’s investment adviser was Oppenheimer Real Asset Management, Inc. (“ORAMI” or the “Sub- Adviser”), through December 31, 2012. Effective January 1, 2013, the Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a whollyowned subsidiary of OFI. The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI, as of the same effective date. As of April 30, 2013, 100% of the Fund was owned by Oppenheimer Flexible Strategies Fund (“OFSF”).
The beneficial interest of each investor in the Fund is represented by units of participating shares. The Fund’s directors may further designate classes of participating shares and series within each class. As of April 30, 2013, the directors have not designated classes or series of outstanding participating shares. During the six months ended April 30, 2013, all income, profits, losses and expenses, if any, of the Fund were allocated pro rata to all participating shares of the Fund. Issuance of additional participating shares is at the discretion of the Fund’s directors.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Income Taxes. The Fund has received an undertaking from the Government of the Cayman Islands exempting it from all local income, profits and capital gains taxes through September of 2030. No such taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the present time. The Fund is a Controlled Foreign Corporation under U.S. tax laws and as such is not subject to U.S. income tax. Therefore, the Fund is not required to record a tax provision.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, if any, are declared and paid annually from the Fund’s tax basis earnings and profits. Distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made to shareholders prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may ultimately be categorized as a tax return of capital.
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.
68 | OPPENHEIMER FLEXIBLE STRATEGIES FUND LTD. |
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 directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. 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.
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.
Futures contracts and futures options traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. A description of the standard inputs that
70 | OPPENHEIMER FLEXIBLE STRATEGIES FUND LTD. |
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.
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, 2013 based on valuation input level:

5. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments
The Fund’s investment objectives not only permit the Fund to purchase investment securities, they also allow the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. Central to those strategies are features inherent to derivatives that make them more attractive for this purpose than equity and debt securities: they require little or no initial cash investment, they can focus exposure on only certain selected risk factors, and they may not require the ultimate receipt or delivery of the underlying security (or securities) to the contract. This may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors.
Market Risk Factors. In accordance with its investment objectives, the Fund may use derivatives to increase or decrease its exposure to one or more of the following market risk factors:
Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.
Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield bonds are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.
Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.
Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.

The Fund’s actual exposures to these market risk factors during the period are discussed in further detail, by derivative type, below.
Risks of Investing in Derivatives. The Fund’s use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.
Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance.
Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Associated risks can be different for each type of derivative and are discussed by each derivative type in the notes that follow.

Futures Contracts
A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a financial instrument, or currency, at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts.
Futures contracts traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.

5. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments Continued
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses.
Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.
The Fund has purchased futures contracts, which have values that are linked to the price movement of the related commodities, in order to increase exposure to commodity risk.
During the six months ended April 30, 2013, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $739,971 on futures contracts purchased.
Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.

7. Pending Litigation
Since 2009, a number of class action lawsuits have been pending in federal courts 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 the Manager and distributed by the Distributor (the “Defendant Funds”). Several of these lawsuits also name as defendants certain officers and current and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The lawsuits raise claims under federal securities law and allege, 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 seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to represent the Funds and the present and former Independent Trustees named in those suits.
Other class action and individual lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts against OFI and certain of its affiliates by investors seeking to recover investments they allegedly lost as a result of the “Ponzi” scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff and his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC (“BLMIS”). Plaintiffs in these suits allege that they suffered losses as a result of their investments in several funds managed by an affiliate of OFI and assert 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 awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. Neither the Distributor, nor any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds, their independent trustees or directors are named as defendants in these lawsuits. None of the Oppenheimer mutual funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff or BLMIS. On February 28, 2011, a stipulation of partial settlement of three groups of consolidated putative class action lawsuits relating to these matters was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On August 19, 2011, the court entered an order and final judgment approving the settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate. In September 2011, certain parties filed notices of appeal from the court’s order approving the settlement. The settlement does not resolve other outstanding lawsuits against OFI and its affiliates relating to BLMIS.

7. Pending Litigation Continued
On April 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against (i) OFI, (ii) an affiliate of OFI and (iii) AAArdvark IV Funding Limited (“AAArdvark IV”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark IV. Plaintiffs allege breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seek compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On April 11, 2013, the court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment, dismissing plaintiffs’ fraud claim with prejudice and dismissing their contract claim without prejudice, and granted plaintiffs leave to replead their contract claim to assert a cause of action for specific performance within 30 days. On May 9, 2013, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the court’s dismissal order. On July 15, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark Funding Limited (“AAArdvark I”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark I. The complaint alleges breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 9, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark XS Funding Limited (“AAArdvark XS”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark XS. The complaint alleges breach of contract against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees.
OFI believes the lawsuits and appeals described above are without legal merit and, with the exception of actions it has settled, is defending against them vigorously. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, OFI believes that these suits should not impair the ability of OFI 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 mutual funds.

2 OPPENHEIMER SMALL- & MID- CAP VALUE FUND
Fund Performance Discussion
The Fund’s Class A shares (without sales charge) produced a return of 17.63% during the reporting period. On a relative basis, the Fund underperformed the Russell 2500 Value Index (the “Index”), which returned 18.83%. The primary drag on relative performance was the Fund’s cash position. Although under 5% of assets, in a strong upward market environment it was sufficient to hurt relative returns. The Fund also underperformed due to weaker relative stock selection in the industrials and energy sectors. The Fund outperformed the Index primarily in the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors.
MARKET OVERVIEW
Prior to the start of the reporting period, central banks in the United States and Europe announced new accommodative policy measures intended to promote market liquidity and stimulate greater economic growth. In September 2012, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) embarked on a new round of open-ended quantitative easing involving monthly purchases of $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government agencies, also known as “QE3”. During the period, the Fed increased its monthly purchases to $85 billion. Meanwhile, the head of the European Central Bank (the “ECB”) had reassured investors that his institution was committed to supporting the Eurozone, and the ECB signaled its conditional intention to purchase massive amounts of debt from troubled members of the European Union. Even in Japan, which had been mired in economic weakness for years, new government leadership adopted economic policies and the central bank announced a massive quantitative easing program.
Investors reacted positively to these measures, and while uncertainty over the outcome of the U.S. presidential election resulted in some market volatility in early November, equity markets turned positive later in the month and rallied for the remainder of the period. In the U.S., the housing market continued to improve, further improving investor sentiment, and Gross Domestic Product maintained a moderate rate of growth. These developments helped markets shrug off numerous domestic concerns this period, including the fiscal cliff and the sequestration.
FUND REVIEW
The Fund’s strongest performing holdings during the period were video game companies Electronic Arts, Inc. and Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. We exited our position in both stocks and locked in gains during the period. Also contributing to performance were Universal Health Services, Inc., Newell Rubbermaid, Inc. and Rock-Tenn Co. Universal Health Services is a hospital operator that is poised to benefit from the Patient Protection
3 OPPENHEIMER SMALL- & MID- CAP VALUE FUND
and Affordable Care Act, which will go into effect in January 2014. The law is expected to reduce the number of uninsured patients, whom hospitals currently are required to provide non-reimbursed care for. Newell Rubbermaid is a global marketer of consumer and commercial products, including Rubbermaid, Levolor, Calphalon, Sharpie and PaperMate. Newell Rubbermaid’s stock benefited from a decision to restructure the company into two groups: a development organization and a delivery organization. The company also took additional steps to cut costs. Rock-Tenn is a manufacturer of corrugated and consumer packaging that reported strong earnings growth partly attributable to higher containerboard and box pricing. The company also increased its annualized dividend by 33%.
While individual detractors from performance were limited in the market rally, the most significant were Laredo Petroleum Holdings, Inc., Skyworks Solutions, Inc. and Teleflex, Inc.
Laton Spahr, CFA Portfolio Manager |
After the portfolio manager change in March, we exited our position in both Laredo Petroleum Holdings and Skyworks Solutions. The Fund initiated its position in Teleflex in February 2013. Its shares fared well for most of the period, but experienced a degree of volatility over the closing days as management reported a slight disappointment in revenue growth.
MEET THE NEW PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
Laton Spahr, CFA, and Eric Hewitt became the Fund’s portfolio managers on March 11, 2013. Mr. Spahr has been a long time value manager with over 14 years of experience. In managing the Fund, Messrs. Spahr and Hewitt will continue to seek to deliver strong returns by utilizing in-depth fundamental research to identify companies that are undervalued relative to their long-term prospects. This long-term perspective and focus on company fundamentals has the potential to help find value opportunities in varying market environments.

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. Returns do not consider capital gains or income taxes on an individual’s investment. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit oppenheimerfunds.com or call 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677). 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 1% contingent deferred sales charge for the 1-year period. There is no sales charge for Class I and Class Y shares. Because Class B shares convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase, the 10-year return for Class B shares uses Class A performance for the period after conversion. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized.
The Fund’s performance is compared to that of the Russell 2000 Index, the Russell 2500 Index and the Russell 2500 Value Index. The Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged index of small-capitalization stocks. The Russell 2500 Index measures the performance of the small to mid-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe, commonly referred to as “smid” cap. The Russell 2500 Value Index measures the performance of the small to mid-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 2500 Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. Indices are unmanaged and cannot be purchased by investors.

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 (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, 2013.
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.

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, 2013 are as follows:
Class | Expense Ratios | |||||||
| ||||||||
Class A | 1.26% | |||||||
| ||||||||
Class B | 2.15 | |||||||
| ||||||||
Class C | 2.05 | |||||||
| ||||||||
Class I | 0.75 | |||||||
| ||||||||
Class N | 1.56 | |||||||
| ||||||||
Class Y | 0.96 |
The expense ratios reflect voluntary 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.

NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Small- & Mid- Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment adviser was OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”) through December 31, 2012. Effective January 1, 2013, the Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI. The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI, as of the same effective date.
The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class I, Class N and Class Y shares, and previously offered Class B shares for new purchase through June 29, 2012. Subsequent to that date, no new purchases of Class B shares are permitted, however reinvestment of dividend and/or capital gain distributions and exchanges of Class B shares into and from other Oppenheimer funds will be allowed. 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 N shares are sold, and Class B shares were 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 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, B, C and N shares have separate distribution and/or service plans under which they pay fees. Class I and Class Y shares do not pay such fees. 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.
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 the investment adviser of IMMF, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) |
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The 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.
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund utilized $47,355,679 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year. Details of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012 capital loss carryforwards are included in the table below. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration, if any, must be utilized prior to those with expiration dates. Capital losses with no expiration will be carried forward to future years if not offset by gains.
Expiring | ||
| ||
2017 | $718,684,958 |
As of April 30, 2013, it is estimated that the capital loss carryforwards would be $404,278,994 expiring by 2017. The estimated capital loss carryforward represents the carryforward as of the end of the last fiscal year, increased or decreased by capital losses or gains realized in the first six months of the current fiscal year. During the six months ended April 30, 2013, it is estimated that the Fund will utilize $314,405,964 of capital loss carryforward to offset realized capital gains.
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.
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, 2013 are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan (the “Plan”) for the Fund’s independent trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each trustee during their period of service. The Plan was frozen with respect to adding new participants effective December 31, 2006 (the “Freeze Date”) and existing Plan Participants as of the Freeze Date will continue to receive accrued benefits under the Plan. Active independent trustees as of the Freeze Date have each elected a distribution method with respect to their benefits under the Plan. During the six months ended April 30, 2013, the Fund’s projected benefit obligations, payments to retired trustees and accumulated liability were as follows:
Projected Benefit Obligations Increased | $ | 1,664 | ||
Payments Made to Retired Trustees | 56,174 | |||
Accumulated Liability as of April 30, 2013 | 406,584 |
The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with 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.
The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made to shareholders prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may ultimately be categorized as a tax return of capital.
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

1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) |
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.
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. 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.

2. Securities Valuation (Continued) |
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.
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.

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.
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.

2. Securities Valuation (Continued) |
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, 2013 based on valuation input level:

5. 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 $400 million | 0.80% | |||
Next $400 million | 0.75 | |||
Next $1.2 billion | 0.60 | |||
Next $4.0 billion | 0.58 | |||
Over $6.0 billion | 0.56 |
Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.
Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (“OFS”), a division of OFI, acted as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund through December 31, 2012. Effective January 1, 2013, OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a per account fee.
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. The Transfer Agent may voluntarily waive the minimum fees.
Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. Effective January 1, 2013, 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.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued) |
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.
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 at an annual rate 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. However, the Fund’s Board has currently set the rate at 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 March 31, 2013 were as follows:
Class C | $ | 9,269,676 | ||
Class N | 4,793,921 |
Sales Charges. Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) do not represent expenses of the Fund. They are deducted from the proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment or from redemption proceeds prior to remittance, as applicable. The sales charges retained by the Distributor from the sale of shares and the CDSC retained by the Distributor on the redemption of shares is shown in the following table for the period indicated.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager 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 six months ended April 30, 2013, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $32,717 for IMMF management fees.
The Transfer Agent has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for Classes B, C, N and Y shares to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class and for Class A shares to 0.30% of average annual net assets of the class.
During the six months ended April 30, 2013, the Transfer Agent waived transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees as follows:
Class A | $65,440 | |||
Class B | 42,856 |
Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time; some may not be modified or terminated until after one year from the date of the current prospectus, as indicated therein.
6. Pending Litigation
Since 2009, a number of class action lawsuits have been pending in federal courts 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 the Manager and distributed by the Distributor (the “Defendant Funds”). Several of these lawsuits also name as defendants certain officers and current and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The lawsuits raise claims under federal securities law and allege, 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 seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to represent the Funds and the present and former Independent Trustees named in those suits.
Other class action and individual lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts against OFI and certain of its affiliates by investors seeking to recover investments they allegedly lost as a result of the “Ponzi” scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff and his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC (“BLMIS”). Plaintiffs in these suits allege that they suffered losses as a result of their investments in several funds managed by an affiliate of OFI and assert 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 awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. Neither the Distributor, nor any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds, their independent trustees or directors are named as defendants in these lawsuits. None of the Oppenheimer mutual funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff or BLMIS. On February 28, 2011, a stipulation of partial settlement of three groups of consolidated putative class action lawsuits relating to these matters was filed
40 OPPENHEIMER SMALL- & MID- CAP VALUE FUND
| ||||
6. Pending Litigation (Continued) |
in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On August 19, 2011, the court entered an order and final judgment approving the settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate. In September 2011, certain parties filed notices of appeal from the court’s order approving the settlement. The settlement does not resolve other outstanding lawsuits against OFI and its affiliates relating to BLMIS.
On April 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against (i) OFI, (ii) an affiliate of OFI and (iii) AAArdvark IV Funding Limited (“AAArdvark IV”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark IV. Plaintiffs allege breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seek compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On April 11, 2013, the court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment, dismissing plaintiffs’ fraud claim with prejudice and dismissing their contract claim without prejudice, and granted plaintiffs leave to replead their contract claim to assert a cause of action for specific performance within 30 days. On May 9, 2013, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the court’s dismissal order. On July 15, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark Funding Limited (“AAArdvark I”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark I. The complaint alleges breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 9, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark XS Funding Limited (“AAArdvark XS”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark XS. The complaint alleges breach of contract against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees.
OFI believes the lawsuits and appeals described above are without legal merit and, with the exception of actions it has settled, is defending against them vigorously. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, OFI believes that these suits should not impair the ability of OFI 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 mutual funds.

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.

Disclosure of Information
We send your financial advisor (as designated by you) copies of confirmations, account statements and other documents reporting activity in your fund accounts. We may also use details about you and your investments to help us, our financial service affiliates, or firms that jointly market their financial products and services with ours, to better serve your investment needs or suggest financial services or educational material that may be of interest to you.

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 128-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. |
— | You can exit the secure area by either closing your browser, or for added security, you can use the Log Out button before you close your browser. |
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.
