interest rate at a designated future date.
13. Interest or dividend is paid-in-kind.
14. Units may be comprised of several components, such as debt and equity and/or
warrants to purchase equity at some point in the future. For units, which
represent debt securities, principal amount disclosed represents total
underlying principal.
15. Represents the current interest rate for a variable or increasing rate
security.
16. Interest rate represents a weighted average rate comprised of the interest
rates of the underlying securities.
17. Interest-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly interest
payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. These securities typically
decline in price as interest rates decline. Most other fixed income securities
increase in price when interest rates decline. The principal amount of the
underlying pool represents the notional amount on which current interest is
calculated. The price of these securities is typically more sensitive to changes
in prepayment rates than traditional mortgage-backed securities (for example,
GNMA pass-throughs). Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based
upon the current cost basis and estimated timing and amount of future cash
flows. These securities amount to $980,840 or 0.36% of the Fund's net assets as
of April 30, 2004.

18. Principal-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly principal
payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The value of these securities
generally increases as interest rates decline and prepayment rates rise. The
price of these securities is typically more volatile than that of coupon-bearing
bonds of the same maturity. Interest rates disclosed represent current yields
based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing of future cash flows.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Oppenheimer Multi-Sector Income Trust (the Fund) is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a closed-end management
investment company. The Fund's investment objective is to seek high current
income consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund's investment advisor
is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager).
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITIES VALUATION. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as
of the close of The New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange), normally 4:00 P.M.
Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for business. Securities listed
or traded on National Stock Exchanges or other domestic or foreign exchanges
are valued based on the last sale price of the security traded on that exchange
prior to the time when the Fund's assets are valued. Securities traded on
NASDAQ are valued based on the closing price provided by NASDAQ prior to the
time when the Fund's assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security
is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the
spread of the closing bid and asked prices, and if not, at the closing bid
price. Securities may be valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or a
portfolio pricing service authorized by the Board of Trustees. Securities
(including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily
available are valued at their fair value. Foreign securities whose values have
been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event
occurring before the Fund's assets are valued but after the close of their
respective foreign exchanges will be fair valued. Fair value is determined in
good faith using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the
Board of Trustees. Short-term "money market type" debt securities with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost (which
approximates market value).
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRUCTURED NOTES. The Fund invests in structured notes 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 notes 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 financial statements. The Fund records a realized gain or loss
when a structured note is sold or matures. As of April 30, 2004, the market
value of these securities comprised 6.3% of the Fund's net assets and resulted
in unrealized cumulative gains of $85,729.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITIES ON A WHEN-ISSUED (OR FORWARD COMMITMENT) BASIS. Delivery and payment
for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis can
take place ten days or more after the trade date. Normally the settlement date
occurs within six months after the trade date; however, the Fund may, from time
to time, purchase securities whose settlement date extends six months or more
beyond trade date. During
40 | OPPENHEIMER MULTI-SECTOR INCOME TRUST
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
Fund maintains segregated assets with a market value equal to or greater than
the amount of its purchase commitments. As of April 30, 2004, the value of the
segregated assets was $29,938,670. The purchase of securities on a when-issued
(or forward commitment) 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. The Fund may also sell securities that it
purchased on a when-issued basis prior to settlement of the original purchase.
As of April 30, 2004, the Fund had purchased $32,692,092 of securities on a
when-issued basis and sold $2,993,888 of securities issued on a when-issued
basis.
In connection with its ability to purchase or sell securities on a
when-issued basis, the Fund may enter into forward roll transactions with
respect to mortgage-related securities. Forward roll transactions require the
sale of securities for delivery in the current month, and a simultaneous
agreement with the same counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon
and maturity) but not identical securities on a specified future date. The Fund
records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of
each forward roll as realized gain (loss) on investments or as fee income in
the case of such transactions that have an associated fee in lieu of a
difference in the forward purchase and sale price.
Risks of entering into forward roll transactions include the potential
inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the potential
of the Fund to receive inferior securities at redelivery as compared to the
securities sold to the counterparty; counterparty credit risk; and the
potential pay down speed variance between the mortgage-related pools.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITY CREDIT RISK. The Fund invests in high-yield securities, which may be
subject to a greater degree of credit risk, market fluctuations and loss of
income and principal, and may be more sensitive to economic conditions than
lower-yielding, higher-rated fixed-income securities. The Fund may acquire
securities in default, and is not obligated to dispose of securities whose
issuers subsequently default. As of April 30, 2004, securities with an
aggregate market value of $5,310,193, representing 1.94% of the Fund's net
assets, were in default.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The Fund's accounting records are maintained in
U.S. dollars. Prices of securities denominated in foreign currencies are
translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rates of exchange. Amounts related
to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and investment income are
translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such
transactions.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of
portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of
foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized 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
41 | OPPENHEIMER MULTI-SECTOR INCOME TRUST
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued
amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and
losses 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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JOINT REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund, along with other affiliated funds
advised by the Manager, may transfer uninvested cash balances into joint
trading accounts on a daily basis. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase
agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each
agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to
cover payments of interest and principal. In the event of default by the other
party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal
proceedings.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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.
As of April 30, 2004, the Fund had available for federal income tax purposes
an estimated unused capital loss carryforward of $29,920,697 expiring by 2012.
This estimated capital loss carryforward represents carryforward as of the end
of the last fiscal year, increased for losses deferred under tax accounting
rules to the current fiscal year and is 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, 2004 and the year ended October 31, 2003,
the Fund used $6,837,462 and $0, respectively, of carryforward to offset
capital gains realized.

TRUSTEES' COMPENSATION. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan for
the Fund's independent trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and
fees paid to each trustee during the years of service. During the six months
ended April 30, 2004, the Fund's projected benefit obligations were increased
by $2,797 and payments of $6,260 were made to retired trustees, resulting in an
accumulated liability of $48,082 as of April 30, 2004.
The Board of Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation 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 does purchase shares of the funds selected for deferral by
the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a
Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are
included as a component of "Other" within the asset section of the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees' fees under the plan will not
affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund's
assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be
deferred until distributed in accordance to the Plan.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends and distributions to
shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations,
are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions, if any, are
declared daily and paid monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are
declared and paid annually.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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, which includes accretion of discount and
amortization of premium, is accrued as earned.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENT. The reduction of custodian fees, if applicable,
represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued
OTHER. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles 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 income and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the ordinary course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that
contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these
arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses
pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of $.01 par value shares of
beneficial interest. There were no transactions in shares of beneficial
interest for the six months ended April 30, 2004 and the year ended October 31,
2003.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other
than U.S. government obligations and short-term obligations, for the six months
ended April 30, 2004, were $70,816,581 and $87,690,955, respectively. There
were purchases of $10,220,851 and sales of $6,408,319 of U.S. government and
government agency obligations for the six months ended April 30, 2004.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
MANAGEMENT FEES. Management fees paid to the Manager were in accordance with
the investment advisory agreement with the Fund which provides for a fee at an
annual rate of 0.65% on the Fund's average annual net assets.

5. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS
A foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign
currency at a future date, at a negotiated rate. The Fund may enter into
foreign currency contracts to settle specific purchases or sales of securities
denominated in a foreign currency and for protection from adverse exchange rate
fluctuation. Risks to the Fund include the potential inability of the
counterparty to meet the terms of the contract.
The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual
commitments held by the Fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or
depreciation are determined using prevailing foreign currency exchange rates.
Unrealized appreciation and
44 | OPPENHEIMER MULTI-SECTOR INCOME TRUST
depreciation on foreign currency contracts are reported in the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of
Operations with the change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
The Fund may realize a gain or loss upon the closing or settlement of the
foreign transaction. Contracts closed or settled with the same broker are
recorded as net realized gains or losses. Such realized gains and losses are
reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Statement of
Operations.
As of April 30, 2004, the Fund had outstanding foreign currency contracts as

6. FUTURES CONTRACTS
A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a
commodity or financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future
date. Futures contracts are traded on a commodity exchange. The Fund may buy
and sell futures contracts that relate to broadly based securities indices
(financial futures) or debt securities (interest rate futures) in order to gain
exposure to or protection from changes in market value of stocks and bonds or
interest rates. The Fund may also buy or write put or call options on these
futures contracts.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. FUTURES CONTRACTS Continued
The Fund generally sells futures contracts as a hedge against increases in
interest rates and decreases in market value of portfolio securities. The Fund
may also purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to market changes as it
may be more efficient or cost effective than actually buying securities.
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. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is
closed or has expired.
Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures
contracts is noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities held
in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures
contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. The Statement of Assets
and Liabilities reflects a receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to
market for variation margin. Realized gains and losses are reported in the
Statement of Operations as the closing and expiration of futures contracts. The
net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported on the
Statement of Operations.
Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the
possibility that there may be an illiquid market and that a change in the value
of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the
underlying securities.
As of April 30, 2004, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts as follows:

7. OPTION ACTIVITY
The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and covered call
options on portfolio securities in order to produce incremental earnings or
protect against changes in the value of portfolio securities.
The Fund generally purchases put options or writes covered call options to
hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings. 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 and unrealized appreciation or
depreciation is recorded. The Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the
expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an option is exercised,
the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a
written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call
option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.
Securities designated to cover outstanding call options are noted in the
Statement of Investments where applicable. Contracts subject to call,
expiration date, exercise price, premium received and market value are detailed
in a note to the Statement of Investments. Options written are reported as a
liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains and losses
are reported in the Statement of Operations.
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 of not being able to
enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist.
Written option activity for the six months ended April 30, 2004 was as follows:

8. INTEREST RATE SWAP CONTRACTS
The Fund may enter into an interest rate swap transaction to maintain a total
return or yield spread on a particular investment, or portion of its portfolio,
or for other non-speculative purposes. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange
of commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate
payments for fixed rate payments.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. INTEREST RATE SWAP CONTRACTS Continued
The coupon payments are based on an agreed upon principal amount and a
specified index. Because the principal amount is not exchanged, it represents
neither an asset nor a liability to either counterparty, and is referred to as
notional. The Fund records an increase or decrease to unrealized gain (loss),
in the amount due to or owed by the Fund at termination or settlement.
Interest rate swaps are subject to credit risk (if the counterparty fails to
meet its obligations) and interest rate risk. The Fund could be obligated to
pay more under its swap agreements than it receives under them, as a result of
interest rate changes.
As of April 30, the Fund had entered into the following interest rate swap
agreements:

9. CREDIT SWAP CONTRACTS
The Fund may enter into a credit swap transaction to maintain a total return on
a particular investment or portion of its portfolio, or for other
non-speculative purposes. Because the principal amount is not exchanged, it
represents neither an asset nor a liability to either counterparty, and is
referred to as a notional principal amount. The Fund
48 | OPPENHEIMER MULTI-SECTOR INCOME TRUST
records an increase or decrease to unrealized gain (loss), in the amount due to
or owed by the Fund at termination or settlement. Credit swaps are subject to
credit risks (if the counterparty fails to meet its obligations). The Fund pays
an annual interest fee on the notional amount in exchange for the counterparty
paying in a potential credit event.
During the six months ended April 30, 2004, the Fund entered into transactions
to hedge credit risk. Information regarding the credit swaps is as follows:

10. SWAPTION TRANSACTIONS
The Fund may enter into a swaption transaction, whereby a contract that grants
the holder, in return for payment of the purchase price (the "premium") of the
option, the right, but not the obligation, to enter into an interest rate swap
at a preset rate within a specified period of time, with the writer of the
contract. The writer receives premiums and bears the risk of unfavorable
changes in the preset rate on the underlying interest rate swap. Swaption
contracts written by the Fund do not give rise to counterparty credit risk as
they obligate the Fund, not its counterparty, to perform. Swaptions written are
reported as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

11. ILLIQUID OR RESTRICTED SECURITIES AND CURRENCY
As of April 30, 2004, investments in securities included issues that are
illiquid or restricted. Restricted securities are purchased in private
placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
may have contractual restrictions on resale, and are valued under methods
approved by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. A security may also
be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market or if its
valuation has not changed for a certain period of time. The Fund intends to
invest no more than 10% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase
and reviewed periodically) in illiquid or restricted securities. Certain
restricted securities, eligible for resale to qualified institutional
investors, are not subject to that limitation. The aggregate value of illiquid
or restricted securities subject to this limitation as of April 30, 2004 was
$20,552,765, which represents 7.51% of the Fund's net assets, of which $34,629
is considered restricted. Information concerning restricted currency is as

12. SECURITIES LENDING
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. In return, the Fund receives collateral in the form of US
Treasury obligations or cash, against the loaned securities and maintains
collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned
securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned
securities is determined at the close of business of the funds and any
additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business
day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund could experience delays and
cost in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the
collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The Fund retains a
portion of the interest earned from the collateral. The Fund also continues to
receive interest or dividends paid on the securities loaned. As of April 30,
2004, the Fund had on loan securities valued at approximately $14,860,000. Cash
of $15,167,795 was received as collateral for the loans, and has been invested
in approved instruments.
50 | OPPENHEIMER MULTI-SECTOR INCOME TRUST
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. BORROWING AND LENDING ARRANGEMENTS
The Fund entered into an "interfund borrowing and lending arrangement" with
other funds in the Oppenheimer funds complex, to allow funds to borrow for
liquidity purposes. The arrangement was initiated pursuant to exemptive relief
granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) to allow these
affiliated funds to lend money to, and borrow money from, each other, in an
attempt to reduce borrowing costs below those of bank loan facilities. The
SEC's order requires the Fund's Board of Trustees to adopt operating policies
and procedures to administer interfund borrowing and lending. Under the
arrangement the Fund may lend money to other Oppenheimer funds and may borrow
from other Oppenheimer funds at a rate set by the Fund's Board of Trustees,
based upon a recommendation by the Manager. The Fund's borrowings, if any, are
subject to asset coverage requirements under the Investment Company Act and the
provisions of the SEC order and other applicable regulations. If the Fund
borrows money, there is a risk that the loan could be called on one day's
notice, in which case the Fund might have to borrow from a bank at higher rates
if a loan were not available from another Oppenheimer fund. If the Fund lends
money to another fund, it will be subject to the risk that the other fund might
not repay the loan in a timely manner, or at all.
The Fund had no interfund borrowings or loans outstanding during the six
months ended or at April 30, 2004.

GENERAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE FUND
Unaudited
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oppenheimer Multi-Sector Income Trust (the Fund) is a closed-end diversified
management investment company with a primary investment objective of seeking
high current income consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund's
secondary investment objective is capital appreciation. In seeking its
objectives under normal market conditions, the Fund may invest any percentage
of its assets in at least three of the following seven fixed income sectors:
U.S. Government, Corporate, International, Asset-Backed, Municipal, Convertible
and Money Market. Current income, preservation of capital and, secondarily,
possible capital appreciation may be considerations in the allocation of assets
among such sectors. The Fund can invest in a number of different kinds of
"derivative investments" and can also engage in certain special investment
techniques, including repurchase transactions, when-issued and delayed delivery
transactions and hedging. Although, the Fund is not required to invest in any
of these types of securities at all times. The investment advisor to the Fund
is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager).
The Portfolio Managers of the Fund are Arthur Steinmetz and Caleb Wong. Mr.
Steinmetz is a Vice President of the Fund and a Senior Vice President of the
Advisor and Mr. Wong is Vice President of the Advisor and the Fund. Messrs.
Steinmetz and Wong have been the persons principally responsible for the
day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio since February 1, 1999. Prior to
February 1999, Mr. Steinmetz served as a portfolio manager and officer of other
Oppenheimer funds. Mr. Wong worked on fixed-income quantitative research and
risk management for the Advisor since July 1996, prior to which he was enrolled
in the Ph.D. program for Economics as the University of Chicago. Other members
of the Advisor's fixed-income portfolio department, particularly portfolio
analysts, traders and other portfolio managers provide the Fund's Portfolio
Managers with support in managing the Fund's portfolio.
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND CASH PURCHASE PLAN--Pursuant to the Fund's Dividend
Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (the Plan), as to shares of the Fund
(Shares) not registered in nominee name, all dividends and capital gains
distributions (Distributions) declared by the Fund will be automatically
reinvested in additional full and fractional Shares unless a shareholder elects
to receive cash. If Shares are registered in nominee name, the shareholder
should consult the nominee if the shareholder desires to participate in the
Plan. Shareholders that participate in the Plan (Participants) may, at their
option, make additional cash investments in Shares, semi-annually in amounts of
at least $100, through payment to Shareholder Financial Services, Inc., the
agent for the Plan (the Agent), accompanied by a service fee of $0.75.
Depending upon the circumstances hereinafter described, Plan Shares will be
acquired by the Agent for the Participant's account through receipt of newly
issued Shares or the purchase of outstanding Shares on the open market. If the
market price of Shares on the relevant date (normally the payment date) equals
or exceeds their net asset value, the Agent will ask the Fund for payment of
the Distribution in additional Shares at the greater of the Fund's net asset
value determined as of the date of purchase or 95% of the then-current market
price. If the market price is lower than net asset value, the
52 | OPPENHEIMER MULTI-SECTOR INCOME TRUST
Distribution will be paid in cash, which the Agent will use to buy Shares on
The New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE), or otherwise on the open market to the
extent available. If the market price exceeds the net asset value before the
Agent has completed its purchases, the average purchase price per Share paid by
the Agent may exceed the net asset value, resulting in fewer Shares being
acquired than if the Distribution had been paid in Shares issued by the Fund.
Participants may elect to withdraw from the Plan at any time and thereby
receive cash in lieu of Shares by sending appropriate written instructions to
the Agent. Elections received by the Agent will be effective only if received
more than ten days prior to the record date for any Distribution; otherwise,
such termination will be effective shortly after the investment of such
Distribution with respect to any subsequent Distribution. Upon withdrawal from
or termination of the Plan, all Shares acquired under the Plan will remain in
the Participant's account unless otherwise requested. For full Shares, the
Participant may either: (1) receive without charge a share certificate for such
Shares; or (2) request the Agent (after receipt by the Agent of signature
guaranteed instructions by all registered owners) to sell the Shares acquired
under the Plan and remit the proceeds less any brokerage commissions and a
$2.50 service fee.
Fractional Shares may either remain in the Participant's account or be
redeemed at the current market price with the proceeds remitted to the
Participant. Shareholders who have previously withdrawn from the Plan may
rejoin at any time by sending written instructions signed by all registered
owners to the Agent.
There is no direct charge for participation in the Plan; all fees of the
Agent are paid by the Fund. There are no brokerage charges for Shares issued
directly by the Fund. However, each Participant will pay a pro rata share of
brokerage commissions incurred with respect to open market purchases of Shares
to be issued under the Plan. Participants will receive tax information annually
for their personal records and to assist in federal income tax return
preparation. The automatic reinvestment of Distributions does not relieve
Participants of any income tax that may be payable on Distributions.
The Plan may be terminated or amended at any time upon 30 days' prior
written notice to Participants which, with respect to a Plan termination, must
precede the record date of any Distribution by the Fund. Additional information
concerning the Plan may be obtained by shareholders holding Shares registered
directly in their names by writing the Agent, Shareholder Financial Services,
Inc., P.O. Box 173673, Denver, CO 80217-3673 or by calling 1-800-647-7374.
Shareholders holding Shares in nominee name should contact their brokerage firm
or other nominee for more information.

Item 2. Code of Ethics
The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the
registrant's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal
accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert
The Board of Trustees of the registrant has determined that the
registrant does not have an audit committee financial expert serving on its
Audit Committee. In this regard, no member of the Audit Committee was identified
as having all of the technical attributes identified in Instruction 2(b) to Item
3 of Form N-CSR to qualify as an "audit committee financial expert," whether
through the type of specialized education or experience described in that
Instruction. The Board has concluded that while the members of the Audit
Committee collectively have the necessary attributes and experience required to
serve effectively as an Audit Committee, no single member possesses all of the
required technical attributes through the particular methods of education or
experience set forth in the Instructions to be designated as an audit committee
financial expert.

Item 9. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
The Board is responsible for approving nominees for election as
trustees. To assist in this task, the Board has designated the Audit Committee
as the nominating committee for the Board. It reviews and recommends nominees to
the Board. The Committee is comprised entirely of disinterested trustees as
defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
The Audit Committee charter describes the responsibilities of the
Committee in nominating candidates for election as independent Trustees of the
Registrant. The Registrant's Board has adopted a written charter for the
Committee. A current copy of the Audit Committee charter is available to
shareholders on the OppenheimerFunds website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com.
Under the current policy, if the Board determines that a vacancy
exists or is likely to exist on the Board, the Audit Committee of the Board will
consider candidates for Board membership including recommended by Registrant
shareholders. The Audit Committee will consider nominees recommended by
independent Board members or recommended by any other Board members including
Board members affiliated with the Registrant's investment advisors. The
Committee may, upon Board approval, retain an executive search firm to assist in
screening potential candidates. Upon Board approval, the Audit Committee may
also use the services of legal, financial, or other external counsel that it
deems necessary or desirable in the screening process. Shareholders wishing to
submit a nominee for election to the Board may do so by mailing their submission
to the offices of OppenheimerFunds, Inc., 6803 South Tucson Way, Centennial, CO
80112, to the attention of the Board of Trustees of the named Registrant, c/o
the Secretary of the Registrant.
The Committee's process for identifying and evaluating nominees for
trustees includes a number of factors. In screening candidates for board
membership, whether the candidate is suggested by Board members, shareholders or
others, the Committee considers the candidate's professional experience,
soundness of judgment, integrity, ability to make independent, analytical
inquiries, collegiality, willingness and ability to devote the time required to
perform Board activities adequately, ability to represent the interests of all
shareholders of the Registrant, and diversity relative to the board's
composition. Candidates are expected to provide a mix of attributes, experience,
perspective and skills necessary to effectively advance the interests of
shareholders.
Item 10. Controls and Procedures
(a) Based on their evaluation of registrant's disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in rule 30a-2(c) under the Investment

registrant's principal executive officer and principal financial
officer found registrant's disclosure controls and procedures to
provide reasonable assurances that information required to be
disclosed by registrant in the reports that it files under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (a) is accumulated and
communicated to registrant's management, including its principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure, and (b) is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods
specified in the rules and forms adopted by the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission.
(b) There have been no significant changes in registrant's internal
controls over financial reporting that occurred during the

or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's
internal control over financial reporting.
