FUND EXPENSES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FUND EXPENSES. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1)
transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments,
contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and redemption fees, if any;
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 for Actual Expenses are based on an investment of $1,000.00
invested at the beginning of the period, October 1, 2007 (commencement of
operations) and held for the period ended October 31, 2007.
The Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes are based on an investment of
$1,000.00 invested on May 1, 2007 and held for the six months ended October 31,
2007.
ACTUAL EXPENSES. The "actual" lines of the table provide information about
actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this
line 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 "actual" line 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 "hypothetical" lines of the
table provide 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 before expenses, which is not the
Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be
used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the
period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing
in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for
the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in
the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your
ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end
or contingent deferred sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or a $12.00 fee
imposed annually on
12 | OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL VALUE FUND
accounts valued at less than $500.00 (subject to exceptions described in the
Statement of Additional Information). Therefore, the "hypothetical" lines of the
table are 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.

Hypothetical assumes 5% annual return before expenses.
1. Actual expenses paid are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for
that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied
by 31/365 [to reflect the period from October 1, 2007 (commencement of
operations) to October 31, 2007].
2. Hypothetical expenses paid are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio
for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period,
multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
The annualized expense ratios for the period from October 1, 2007 (commencement
of operations) to October 31, 2007 are as follows:
CLASS EXPENSE RATIOS
- -----------------------------
Class A 1.39%
- -----------------------------
Class B 2.14
- -----------------------------
Class C 2.14
- -----------------------------
Class N 1.64
- -----------------------------
Class Y 1.04
The expense ratios reflect voluntary waivers or reimbursements by the Fund's
Manager that can be terminated at any time, without advance notice. The
"Financial Highlights" tables in the Fund's financial statements, included in
this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or
reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Oppenheimer Global Value Fund (the Fund), is an open-end management investment
company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The
Fund's investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund's
investment advisor is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager). The Fund was
organized on June 28, 2007 and began operations on October 1, 2007. As of
October 31, 2007, 100% of the Fund's shares were owned by the Manager.
The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y shares.
Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset
value plus a front-end sales charge. Class B, Class C and Class N shares are
sold without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge (CDSC). Class N shares are sold only through retirement
plans. Retirement plans that offer Class N shares may impose charges on those
accounts. Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors without
either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; however, the institutional investor
may impose charges on those accounts. All classes of shares have identical
rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive
voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and
net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses,
such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder
communications, directly attributable to that class. Class A, B, C and N have
separate distribution and/or service plans. No such plan has been adopted for
Class Y shares. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares six
years after the date of purchase. The Fund assesses a 2% fee on the proceeds of
fund shares that are redeemed (either by selling or exchanging to another
Oppenheimer fund) within 30 days of their purchase. The fee, which is retained
by the Fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.
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 may be
valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or a portfolio pricing service
authorized by the Board of Trustees. Securities listed or traded on National
Stock Exchanges or other domestic 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(R) 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 traded on
foreign exchanges are valued based on the last sale price on the principal
exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing
service, prior to the time when the Fund's assets are valued. In the absence of
a sale, the security is valued at the official closing price on the principal
exchange. Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a
remaining maturity in
23 | OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL VALUE FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued
excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities will be valued at the
mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices. 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. Options are valued daily based upon the last
sale price on the principal exchange on which the option is traded. Securities
(including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily
available are valued at their fair value. Foreign and domestic 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 exchanges will be fair valued. Fair value is
determined in good faith using consistently applied procedures under the
supervision of the Board of Trustees. Investments in open-end registered
investment companies (including affiliated funds) are valued at that fund's net
asset value. Short-term "money market type" debt securities with remaining
maturities of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost (which
approximates market value).
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The Fund's accounting records are maintained in
U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and
amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign
investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the New
York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each
day the Exchange is open for business. Foreign exchange rates may be valued
primarily using dealer supplied valuations or a portfolio pricing service
authorized by the Board of Trustees.
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 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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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") which seeks current income and
stability of principal. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment
company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. The Manager is also the
24 | OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL VALUE FUND
investment advisor of IMMF. The Fund's investment in IMMF is included in the
Statement of Investments, if applicable. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject
to its proportional share of IMMF's Class E expenses, including its management
fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount
equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund's investment in
IMMF.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALLOCATION OF INCOME, EXPENSES, GAINS AND LOSSES. Income, expenses (other than
those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a
daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net
assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a
specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEDERAL TAXES. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute
substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net
realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any,
to shareholders; therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is
required.
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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRUSTEES' COMPENSATION. 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 to the compensation deferral 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 and capital gain distributions, if
any, are declared and paid annually.
25 | OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL VALUE FUND
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, which includes accretion of discount and amortization
of premium, is accrued as earned.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

TRANSFER AGENT FEES. OppenheimerFunds Services (OFS), a division of the Manager,
acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays
OFS a per account fee.
Additionally, Class Y shares are subject to minimum fees of $10,000 per
annum for assets of $10 million or more. The Class Y shares are subject to the
minimum fees in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed the
applicable minimum fees. OFS may voluntarily waive the minimum fees.

OFFERING AND ORGANIZATIONAL COSTS. The Manager paid all offering and
organizational costs associated with the registration and seeding of the Fund.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. 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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SERVICE PLAN FOR CLASS A SHARES. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A
shares. It reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for
services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made
periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average annual net assets
of Class A shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees
to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other financial institutions periodically for
providing personal services and maintenance of accounts of their customers that
hold Class A shares. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with
respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent
periods. Fees incurred by the Fund under the plan are detailed in the Statement
of Operations.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLANS FOR CLASS B, CLASS C AND CLASS N SHARES. The Fund
has adopted Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N
shares 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 and 0.25% on Class N shares. 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. The Distributor determines its
uncompensated expenses under the plan at calendar quarter ends. Fees incurred by
the Fund under the plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WAIVERS AND REIMBURSEMENTS OF EXPENSES. The Manager has voluntarily agreed to
waive management fees and/or reimburse the Fund for certain expenses so the
total expenses as a percentage of average daily net assets will not exceed
1.40%, 2.15%, 2.15%, 1.65% and 1.05% for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and
Class Y shares, respectively. During the period ended October 31, 2007, the
Manager reimbursed the Fund $2,628, $70, $70, $71 and $76 for Class A, Class B,
Class C, Class N and Class Y, respectively. These voluntary waivers may be
amended or withdrawn at any time.
OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing
agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class. This
undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
28 | OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL VALUE FUND
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 period ended October 31, 2007, the Manager waived $14 for IMMF
management fees.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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 October 31, 2007, the Fund had outstanding foreign currency contracts as
follows:

6. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In September 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS. This
standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required
or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. As of October 31, 2007, the Manager
does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will materially impact the
financial statement amounts; however, additional disclosures may be required
about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of
the measurements on changes in net assets for the period.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND'S INVESTMENT
ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that a fund's Board of
Trustees, including a majority of the independent Board members, request and
evaluate, and that its Manager provide, such information as may be reasonably
necessary to evaluate the terms of the fund's investment advisory agreement.
In approving the Fund's initial investment advisory agreement (the
"Agreement"), the Board of Trustees (the "Board") considered information
provided by the Manager on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and
extent of the Manager's services to be provided, (ii) the fees and expenses of
the Fund, including estimated and comparative expense information, (iii) the
profitability of the Manager and its affiliates, including an analysis of the
anticipated cost of providing services by the Manager and its affiliates, (iv)
the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows and
whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (v)
other benefits that the Manager may receive from its relationship with the Fund.
NATURE AND EXTENT OF SERVICES. The Board considered information about the
nature and extent of the services to be provided to the Fund and information
regarding the Manager's key personnel who will provide such services. The
Manager's duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio
manager and the Manager's investment team, who provide research, analysis and
other advisory services in regard to the Fund's investments; securities trading
services; oversight of third party service providers; monitoring compliance with
applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund's investment
restrictions. The Manager is responsible for providing certain administrative
services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising
all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide
effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining
records with respect to the Fund's operations; preparing and filing reports
required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports
regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy
materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements
required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund's shares.
The Manager also provides the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.
QUALITY OF SERVICES. The Board also considered the quality of the services
expected to be provided by the Manager and the quality of the Manager's
resources that will be available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact
that the Manager has had over forty years of experience as an investment adviser
and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers
in the United States. The Board evaluated the Manager's administrative,
accounting, legal and compliance services, and information the Board has
received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND'S INVESTMENT
ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited / Continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Manager's personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation
of the quality of the portfolio management services to be provided, the Board
considered the experience of Randall Dishmon, the portfolio manager for the
Fund, and the Manager's investment team and analysts. The Board members also
considered their experiences with the Manager and its officers and other
personnel through their service on the boards of other funds advised by the
Manager. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services
provided by affiliates of the Manager, which its members have become
knowledgeable about in connection with other funds managed by the Manager. In
light of the foregoing, the Board concluded that the Fund will benefit from the
services to be provided under the Agreement and from the Manager's experience,
reputation, personnel, operations, and resources.
MANAGEMENT FEES AND EXPENSES. The Board reviewed the fees to be paid to
the Manager and its affiliates and the other expenses that will be borne by the
Fund. The Board also evaluated the comparability of the fees to be charged and
the services to be provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other
clients or accounts advised by the Manager. The Board also evaluated the
services to be provided and the comparability of the fees that, absent the
waiver described below, would be charged, to the Fund to the services and fees
for other clients or accounts advised by the Manager.
ECONOMIES OF SCALE. The Board considered the extent to which the Manager
may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund and the
extent to which those economies of scale would benefit the Fund's shareholders.
BENEFITS TO THE MANAGER. The Board considered information regarding the
Manager's estimated costs in serving as the Fund's investment adviser, including
the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the
Fund, and information regarding the Manager's potential profitability from its
relationship with the Fund. The Board considered that the Manager must be able
to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to
provide services to the Fund and that maintaining the financial viability of the
Manager is important in order for the Manager to provide significant services to
the Fund and its shareholders. In addition to considering the profits that may
be realized by the Manager, the Board considered information regarding the
direct and indirect benefits the Manager may receive as a result of its
relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Manager's
affiliates for services provided and research that may be provided to the
Manager in connection with permissible brokerage arrangements (soft dollar
arrangements).

CONCLUSIONS. These factors were also considered by the independent
Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel
to the Fund and the independent Trustees. Fund counsel is independent of the
Manager within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission
Rules.
Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations
described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees,
concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to
the Fund by the Manager would be a benefit to the Fund and in the best interest
of the Fund's shareholders and that the amount and structure of the compensation
to be received by the Manager and its affiliates are reasonable in relation to
the services to be provided. Accordingly, the Board approved the Agreement for
an initial period of two years. In arriving at this decision, the Board did not
single out any factor or factors as being more important than others, but
considered all of the factors together. The Board judged the terms and
conditions of the Agreement, including the management fee, in light of all of
the surrounding circumstances.

THE FUND'S GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE PROVISIONS WITH RESPECT TO NOMINATIONS OF
DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES TO THE RESPECTIVE BOARDS
1. The Fund's Governance Committee (the "Committee") will evaluate potential
Board candidates to assess their qualifications. The Committee shall have
the authority, upon approval of the Board, to retain an executive search
firm to assist in this effort. The Committee may consider recommendations
by business and personal contacts of current Board members and by executive
search firms which the Committee may engage from time to time and may also
consider shareholder recommendations. The Committee may consider the advice
and recommendation of the Funds' investment manager and its affiliates in
making the selection.
2. The Committee shall screen candidates for Board membership. The Committee
has not established specific qualifications that it believes must be met by
a trustee nominee. In evaluating trustee nominees, the Committee considers,
among other things, an individual's background, skills, and experience;
whether the individual is an "interested person" as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940; and whether the individual would be
deemed an "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of
applicable SEC rules. The Committee also considers whether the individual's
background, skills, and experience will complement the background, skills,
and experience of other nominees and will contribute to the Board. There
are no differences in the manner in which the Committee evaluates nominees
for trustees based on whether the nominee is recommended by a shareholder.
3. The Committee may consider nominations from shareholders for the Board at
such times as the Committee meets to consider new nominees for the Board.
The Committee shall have the sole discretion to determine the candidates to
present to the Board and, in such cases where required, to shareholders.
Recommendations for trustee nominees should, at a minimum, be accompanied
by the following:
o the name, address, and business, educational, and/or other pertinent
background of the person being recommended;
o a statement concerning whether the person is an "interested person" as
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940;
o any other information that the Funds would be required to include in a
proxy statement concerning the person if he or she was nominated; and
o the name and address of the person submitting the recommendation and,
if that person is a shareholder, the period for which that person held
Fund shares.
The recommendation also can include any additional information which the
person submitting it believes would assist the Committee in evaluating the
recommendation.
4. Shareholders should note that a person who owns securities issued by
Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (the parent company of the
Funds' investment adviser) would be deemed an "interested person" under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. In addition, certain other relationships
with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company or its subsidiaries, with
registered broker-dealers, or with the Funds' outside legal counsel may
cause a person to be deemed an "interested person."
5. Before the Committee decides to nominate an individual as a trustee,
Committee members and other directors customarily interview the individual
in person. In addition, the individual customarily is asked to complete a
detailed questionnaire which is designed to elicit information which must
be disclosed under SEC and stock exchange rules and to determine whether
the individual is subject to any statutory disqualification from serving as
a trustee of a registered investment company.
ITEM 11. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Based on their evaluation of the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (17 CFR
270.30a-3(c)) as of 10/31/2007, the registrant's principal executive officer and
principal financial officer found the registrant's disclosure controls and
procedures to provide reasonable assurances that information required to be
disclosed by the registrant in the reports that it files under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (a) is accumulated and communicated to registrant's
management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (b) is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the rules and forms adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
There have been no changes in the registrant's internal controls over financial
reporting that occurred during the registrant's second fiscal quarter of the
period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial
reporting.
ITEM 12. EXHIBITS.

(2) Exhibits attached hereto.
(3) Not applicable.
(b) Exhibit attached hereto.
