PRESIDENT'S LETTER

DEAR SHAREHOLDER,

Whenever  a new year  begins -- let alone a new  decade or  century  -- it makes
sense to pause a moment to assess where we've been and where we're going.

In  retrospect,  U.S.  stocks  and bonds in 1999  were  subject  to  sudden  and
substantial  swings in investor  sentiment because of economic  uncertainty.When
the year began,  investors were concerned that growth in the United States might
slow in response to  economic  weakness  overseas.At  mid-year,  investors  were
concerned that the economy was too strong,  potentially rekindling  inflationary
pressures.Yet,  by year end, it became clearer that while the U.S.  economy grew
robustly in 1999, inflation remained at low levels.  Indeed,  investors appeared
more comfortable  with the economy after the Federal Reserve Board  demonstrated
its  inflation-fighting  resolve by raising  interest  rates three times between
June and November.

As is  normal  in a  rising-interest-rate  environment,  bond  prices  generally
declined in 1999, led lower by U.S.  Treasury bonds. In the stock market,  while
most major indices advanced,  strong performance was mostly limited to a handful
of large-capitalization  growth companies,  principally in the technology arena.
Smaller and value-oriented stocks provided particularly  lackluster returns and,
overall, foreign stocks outperformed U.S. stocks in 1999.

Looking  forward,  we expect the U.S.  economy  to remain on a  moderate-growth,
low-inflation   course.  As  recent  revisions  of  1999's  economic  statistics
demonstrated,  the economy has defied many  analysts'  forecasts by growing at a
strong rate, which should be positive for the bond market.  Similarly,  positive
economic  forces could help the stock  market's  performance  broaden to include
value-oriented and smaller stocks.

We see  particularly compelling  opportunities  outside of the U.S. market. Many
foreign  stocks also ended 1999 more  attractively  valued than  large-cap  U.S.
stocks,  and  economic  trends in overseas  markets  could lead to higher  stock
prices.  In Europe,  corporate  restructuring  has just begun,  giving companies
there the same potential for  cost-cutting and  productivity  improvements  that
U.S.  companies  enjoyed  years ago.  In Japan and Asia,  economic  recovery  is
expected to gain strength, which could allow stocks to rally from relatively low
levels.

Another  1999  trend  that  should  remain  in  force in 2000 is the  growth  of
businesses  related to the Internet.  The rise of  e-commerce  has been good for
consumers and the economy because of greater price competition, which has helped
keep inflation under control.The  Internet has also been good for investors,  as
even  companies  with no earnings  have seen their stock prices  soar.  Clearly,
while the Internet is here to stay, not all "dot-com"companies will survive, and
many of these  high-flying  Internet  stocks will eventually -- and perhaps very
suddenly  -- return to more  reasonable  levels.The  long-term  winners are most
likely to be  companies  that  support the  Internet's  growth  with  content or
infrastructure.

What  else is in store  for  investors  in 2000?  While we do not have a crystal
ball, we believe that in almost any investment  environment,  consistent success
stems from an unwavering  focus on  fundamental  investment  principles  such as
maintaining a long-term  perspective,  using diversification to manage risk, and
availing oneself of the services of a knowledgeable  financial advisor.  Indeed,
these principles serve as the foundation for every investment we offer,  helping
to make OppenheimerFunds The Right Way to Invest in 2000 and beyond.


Sincerely,

AN INTERVIEW WITH YOUR FUND'S MANAGERS

MIGUEL DE BRAGANCA
DANIEL BURKE
BLAKE GALL
JENNIFER KOSMO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS

HOW HAS  OPPENHEIMER  TRINITY CORE FUND PERFORMED  SINCE ITS  INCEPTION?  We are
disappointed  that market  conditions  largely  worked  against us over the five
months since the Fund began operations (September 1, 1999--January 31, 2000).

Although  the Fund's  benchmark,  the S&P 500 Index,  produced  very  attractive
returns over the past five  months,  a closer look reveals that the Index's rise
was fueled by a  relatively  small  number of growth  stocks.  Good  performance
within the Index was particularly concentrated within technology stocks, many of
which  have  reached  valuations  that are quite  high by  historical  measures.
Because our risk-averse,  highly  disciplined stock selection  strategy tends to
avoid very expensive stocks,  and is diversified  across all market sectors,  we
did not participate as heavily in many of the market's leaders as the Index did.

WHAT IS THE FUND'S STOCK SELECTION STRATEGY?
Oppenheimer Trinity Core Fund seeks to invest in the most attractive stocks
within each sector of the S&P 500 Index, which is composed almost exclusively of
large-capitalization  stocks.To  find  such  stocks,  we  employ a  "bottom  up"
management  approach in which we rigorously  assess the strengths and weaknesses
of individual  companies  rather than  investing  according to broad economic or
market trends.

In  particular,  we use  multifactor  computer  models that rank the stocks
within each of 11 market sectors according to their relative attractiveness on a
variety of  valuation,  growth and  momentum  measures.  Our team of  securities
analysts  then  conducts  intensive  fundamental  research  into the most highly
ranked companies.  By combining quantitative analysis with fundamental research,
we believe that we can eliminate  subjective  biases to produce  higher  returns
than the S&P 500 over the course of a full market cycle.

To manage the risk of  investing,  we try to ensure that the  percentage of Fund
assets allocated to each market sector approximates its weighting in the S&P 500
Index.Within  each market sector,  we strive to add value by  emphasizing  those
stocks that we regard as most attractive,  and de-emphasizing  those stocks that
we believe are least attractive.

WHAT SECTORS CONTRIBUTED MOST TO THE FUND'S RETURNS DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?
The Fund  benefited  most from the same sector that fueled most of the S&P 500's
advance:  technology. Most other market sectors in the Index produced lackluster
performance.Within  the  technology  sector,  we  invested in a number of strong
performers. However, because our stock selection process typically avoids stocks
with unjustifiably high valuations,  we had less exposure than the Index to most
of the top 50 technology stocks during the period.

HAS THE DOMINANCE OF LARGE-CAP  GROWTH  STOCKS  CAUSED YOU TO CONSIDER  CHANGING
YOUR INVESTMENT APPROACH?
Absolutely not! We've seen similarly  narrow markets before,  including the
"Nifty Fifty" in the 1970s,  energy stocks in the 1980s and the "Sweet  Sixteen"
consumer stocks in the early 1990s.  Ultimately,  these  overpriced  stocks fell
from their lofty valuations while the rest of the market broadened considerably.
In our opinion, history is likely to repeat itself in this regard.



                           Oppenheimer Trinity Core Fund                    3

<PAGE>

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE?
As "bottom  up"portfolio  managers,  we do not attempt to  forecast  economic or
market  trends.  Instead,  we maintain an  unwavering  focus on the  fundamental
strengths and  weaknesses of the  companies in which we  invest.With  that said,
however,  it is  difficult  for us to imagine  that the U.S.  stock  market will
remain as narrow as it was in 1999.Valuation  differences  between growth stocks
and value stocks have reached  extreme levels,  in our opinion.

We  believe  that  the  gap  is  likely  to  narrow  closer  to  historical
norms. Accordingly, we intend to maintain our disciplined  approach to investing
in  large-capitalization  stocks.  Indeed,  maintaining  the  integrity  of  our
approach during difficult markets is what makes Oppenheimer Trinity Core Fund an
important part of The Right Way to Invest.


Because of ongoing market  volatility,  the Fund's performance may be subject to
substantial  short-term changes.  For updates on the Fund's performance,  please

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Oppenheimer  Trinity  Core 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 long-term growth
of  capital.  The Fund's  investment  advisor  is  OppenheimerFunds,  Inc.  (the
Manager).

The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares. Class A shares are
sold at their offering price,  which is normally net asset value plus an initial
sales  charge.  Class B and Class C shares are sold  without  an  initial  sales
charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC).  Class Y
shares are sold to certain  institutional  investors  without either a front-end
sales charge or a CDSC. All classes of shares have identical rights to earnings,
assets  and  voting  privileges,  except  that each  class has its own  expenses
directly  attributable to that class and exclusive voting rights with respect to
matters  affecting  that  class.  Classes  A,  B  and  C  shares  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 following is a summary of significant accounting
policies consistently followed by the Fund.

SECURITIES VALUATION.  Securities for which quotations are readily available are
valued at the last sale price,  or if in the absence of a sale, 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  (including
restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available are valued
primarily  using  dealer-supplied   valuations,   a  portfolio  pricing  service
authorized  by the Board of  Trustees,  or at their  fair  value.  Fair value is
determined  in good  faith  under  consistently  applied  procedures  under  the
supervision  of the Board of Trustees.  Foreign  currency  contracts  are valued
based on the closing prices of the forward currency contract rates in the London
foreign exchange markets on a daily basis as provided by a reliable bank, dealer
or  pricing  service.  Short-term  "money  market  type"  debt  securities  with
remaining  maturities  of  sixty  days or less  are  valued  at  cost  (or  last
determined  market value) and adjusted for amortization or accretion to maturity
of any premium or discount.

REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS.  The Fund requires the custodian to take possession,  to
have  legally  segregated  in the Federal  Reserve  Book Entry System or to have
segregated  within the custodian's  vault, all securities held as collateral for
repurchase agreements. The market value of the underlying securities is required
to be at least 102% of the resale price at the time of  purchase.  If the seller
of the agreement  defaults and the value of the collateral  declines,  or if the
seller  enters  an  insolvency  proceeding,  realization  of  the  value  of the
collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.

ALLOCATION OF INCOME,  EXPENSES,  GAINS AND LOSSES. Income, expenses (other than
those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated daily 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 continue to comply with  provisions  of the
Internal  Revenue Code  applicable  to  regulated  investment  companies  and to
distribute  all of its  taxable  income,  including  any  net  realized  gain on
investments  not  offset by loss  carryovers,  to  shareholders.  Therefore,  no
federal income or excise tax provision is required.

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
TRUSTEES' COMPENSATION. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan for the
Fund's independent Board of Trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and
fees paid to each trustee during the years of service.

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
annual  compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. Under the plan,
the  compensation  deferred is  periodically  adjusted  as though an  equivalent
amount  had been  invested  for the Board of  Trustees  in shares of one or more
Oppenheimer  funds  selected  by the  trustee.  The amount  paid to the Board of
Trustees  under the plan will be determined  based upon the  performance  of the
selected  funds.  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.

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.

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

EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS.  Expenses paid indirectly represent a reduction of
custodian fees  for earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund.

OTHER.  Investment  transactions are accounted for as of trade date and dividend
income is recorded on the  ex-dividend  date.  Certain  dividends  from  foreign
securities  will be recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the  dividend if
such information is obtained  subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Realized gains
and losses on  investments  and unrealized  appreciation  and  depreciation  are
determined on an identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal
income tax purposes.

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with 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.

The Fund has  adopted a Service  Plan for Class A shares  and  Distribution  and
Service Plans for Class B and Class C shares under Rule 12b-1 of the  Investment
Company  Act.  Under  those  plans  the Fund pays the  Distributor  for all or a
portion  of its  costs  incurred  in  connection  with the  distribution  and/or
servicing of the shares of the particular class.

CLASS A SERVICE  PLAN  FEES.  Under the Class A service  plan,  the  Distributor
currently  uses the fees it receives  from the Fund to pay brokers,  dealers and
other financial institutions. The Class A service plan permits reimbursements to
the Distributor at a rate of up to 0.25% of average annual net assets of Class A
shares purchased. The Distributor makes payments to plan recipients quarterly at
an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average  annual net assets  consisting
of Class A shares of the Fund.  For the period ended January 31, 2000,  payments
under the Class A plan totaled $2,680,  all of which was paid by the Distributor
to recipients.  Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to
Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent years.

CLASS B AND CLASS C DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN FEES. Under each plan, service
fees and distribution fees are computed on the average of the net asset value of
shares in the  respective  class,  determined  as of the  close of each  regular
business  day during the period.  The Class B and Class C plans  provide for the
Distributor  to  be  compensated  at a  flat  rate,  whether  the  Distributor's
distribution  expenses  are more or less than the amounts paid by the Fund under
the plan during the period for which the fee is paid.

4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (continued)
The  Distributor  retains the  asset-based  sales charge on Class B shares.  The
Distributor  retains the  asset-based  sales charge on Class C shares during the
first year the shares are outstanding.  The asset-based sales charges on Class B
and Class C shares  allow  investors  to buy shares  without a  front-end  sales
charge while  allowing the  Distributor  to  compensate  dealers that sell those
shares.

The  Distributor's  actual expenses in selling Class B and Class C shares may be
more than the payments it receives from the  contingent  deferred  sales charges
collected on redeemed shares and  asset-based  sales charges from the Fund under
the plans.  If any plan is  terminated  by the Fund,  the Board of Trustees  may
allow the Fund to  continue  payments  of the  asset-based  sales  charge to the
Distributor for  distributing  shares before the plan was terminated.  The plans
allow for the  carry-forward  of  distribution  expenses,  to be recovered  from
asset-based sales charges in subsequent fiscal periods.
