PRESIDENT'S LETTER
BRIDGET A. MACASKILL
President
Oppenheimer
Trinity Core Fund
DEAR SHAREHOLDER,
The 1990s, although not free of volatility, were distinguished by an overall
bull market. In contrast, the year 2000 has been characterized so far as a
relatively difficult investment environment with high levels of volatility.
As we entered the year, a vital concern weighing on investors' minds was growing
evidence of a trend toward higher inflation.While productivity improvements and
various economic forces helped keep inflation low over the last decade, the year
2000 has seen upward pressure on wages and some prices.That's primarily because
the U.S. economy has been growing at a vigorous pace, creating a labor shortage
for businesses and high spending levels among consumers. In response, since the
summer of 1999, the Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates six
times through June 30, 2000, in an attempt to forestall inflationary pressures.
During that period, higher interest rates adversely affected many stocks and
bonds. In a dramatic decline, previously high-flying technology stocks generally
fell to more reasonable valuations.At the same time, long-neglected value
stocks began to attract investor interest.The result: narrowing of the valuation
gap between growth stocks and value stocks. Finally, in the bond market, higher
interest rates caused prices of most fixed income securities to fall.
At OppenheimerFunds, we were not surprised by these developments, many of which
we anticipated in our recent letters to investors.What did concern us was that,
prior to the April 2000 correction, we began to see disturbing signs that
short-term trading was taking place not just in technology stocks, but also in
mutual funds. Prudent investors will understand our concern: most stock and bond
funds are carefully designed as long-term investments to help individuals and
families progress toward significant financial goals. In general, short-term
trading is risky and may compromise a well planned financial strategy. It may
also result in unforeseen adverse consequences, such as unnecessarily high tax
bills.
We continue to believe that maintaining a long-term perspective and practicing
diversification are the fundamental drivers of consistent performance over time.
These strategies have helped individual investors, as well as professional
investors, weather declining markets and participate in rising ones. On the
following pages, your portfolio manager discusses the long-term strategies and
particular investment decisions that affected your fund during the reporting
period.
You can remain confident that our portfolio managers will continue to monitor
areas of opportunity in the arenas in which your fund invests, as the effects of
today's changing investment environment take hold. Knowing what's going on in
the world's economies, markets and companies--and making investment decisions
designed to try to take advantage of them over the long term--is central to what
makes OppenheimerFunds The Right Way to Invest.
Sincerely,
/s/Bridget A. Macaskill

AN INTERVIEW WITH YOUR FUND'S MANAGERS
Portfolio Management Team
Miguel de Braganca
Daniel Burke
Blake Gall
Jennifer Kosmo
HOW WOULD YOU CHARACTERIZE THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE SINCE ITS COMMENCEMENT?
During the 11 months since we began managing Oppenheimer Trinity Core Fund
(September 1, 1999-July 31, 2000), we believe the Fund performed in accordance
with its objective of providing investors with a sector-neutral portfolio to
help control risk and ensure broad diversification.After a slow start during the
last few months of 1999, performance improved in 2000, at a time when the
overall equity market was faltering. Although the Fund's benchmark, the S&P 500
Index, experienced gains and losses during the reporting period, closer
examination revealed that this activity was largely fueled by a relatively small
number of growth stocks. By contrast, our diverse portfolio of growth and value
stocks experienced much less volatility. The Fund did not capture the sizeable
gains of certain high-flying stocks; however, it also avoided much of the damage
caused by the market's decline in April and May of 2000.
WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT APPROACH?
Oppenheimer Trinity Core Fund seeks capital appreciation primarily from stocks
of large companies.These include many of the best known companies in the United
States across a variety of sectors and industry groups.
The key to our management approach is our discipline in maintaining a consistent
investment strategy through changing market conditions.We seek to avoid "style
drift" by primarily investing in stocks listed in our benchmark, the S&P 500
Index.We also seek to ensure broad diversification by targeting the Fund's
sector weights to those of the index. We strive to add value to the Fund and
exceed the performance of the benchmark index by identifying the most attractive
stocks within each sector. To that end, we employ a wide range of computer-based
modeling tools optimized for each sector to determine the most attractive
prospects under prevailing market conditions.
We also seek to avoid the risks associated with market timing. Market timing
refers to the practice of moving a fund's assets in and out of the equity market
in an attempt to avoid declines. Because we believe that the risks and costs of
such strategies outweigh the benefits, we generally keep the Fund close to fully
invested at all times.
Although we have managed the Fund for less than a year, our investment approach
has stood the test of time. As portfolio managers, we have been employing
similar quantitative models for many years across a wide range of market cycles
and conditions. In the process, we have continually worked to refine our
approach, creating a systematic, highly disciplined method of building and
managing portfolios.We believe our approach enables us to reduce investment
risks while positioning the Fund to outperform its benchmark, as well as most
other broadly based, large-cap equity funds.
WHAT KINDS OF MARKET CONDITIONS CONFRONTED THE FUND DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?
Sporadic market strength during the period was supported by continued expansion
of the U.S. economy, low rates of inflation, growing evidence of a global
economic recovery and diminishing fears of Y2K-related problems.These factors
drove a relatively narrow group of growth-oriented stocks sharply higher during
the last few months of 1999.
As the new year began, the threat of rising inflation remained the most serious
negative factor facing the markets. Although measurable inflation remained low,
high levels of consumer spending fueled a rate of economic growth that many
observers considered unsustainable. The Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") raised
interest rates in an effort to slow the pace of economic growth and thereby head
off inflation.As interest rates rose, investors showed renewed concern about
company fundamentals and profitability, shifting the focus of market strength
from growth- to value-oriented stocks. In June, better-than-expected corporate
earnings reports--along with preliminary signs that U.S. economic growth might
be slowing in response to the Fed's measures--bolstered investor confidence and
gave new support to growth stocks. However, market strength remained broader
than it had been in late 1999.

"Our individual stock selections
got off to a slow start in
late 1999, but performance
improved in 2000."
HOW DID YOU MANAGE THE FUND IN LIGHT OF THESE CONDITIONS?
Informed by the data generated by our quantitative models, we built a
diversified portfolio of stocks that reflected the sector weightings of the S&P
500 Index.As was the case with the index, technology was the Fund's largest
sector, representing more than 30% of total assets at the end of the reporting
period. Our individual technology stock selections got off to a slow start in
late 1999, but performance improved in 2000. By emphasizing well-known industry
leaders, such as Cisco Systems, Inc. and Intel Corp., we succeeded in recovering
ground against the index and delivering positive results for the Fund as a
whole. Performance also benefited from the performance of our healthcare
holdings, which outperformed the index's healthcare component.Basic materials
and consumer staples proved to be the Fund's worst performing sectors. However,
both of these sectors represented approximately 10% of the Fund's total assets,
which limited the impact on our total return.
WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE?
We are heartened by indications that the Fed's actions may be reining in the
rate of U.S. economic growth. If so, the repeated interest rate increases that
have pressured equity markets for much of 2000 may be nearing an end. However,
we believe it is still too early to draw any firm conclusions regarding the
future of interest rates for the coming 12 months. Such uncertainties may serve
to keep market volatility at an unusually high level for the near future.
In this challenging and changeable environment, we continue to maintain our
unwavering focus on uncovering the most attractive large-cap stocks listed in
the S&P 500 Index. Our highly disciplined, long-term approach to investing is
what makes Oppenheimer Trinity Core Fund an important part of The Right Way to
Invest.

FUND PERFORMANCE
HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED? Below is a discussion, by the Manager, of the Fund's
performance during its fiscal year ended July 31, 2000, followed by a graphical
comparison of the Fund's performance to an appropriate broad-based market index.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF PERFORMANCE
During the fiscal year that ended July 31, 2000, the U.S. economy enjoyed strong
growth. Market strength was concentrated in growth-oriented stocks in late 1999
and early 2000. In mid-March 2000, concerns over rising interest rates shifted
the market's direction in favor of value-oriented stocks until late May. Growth
stocks rallied again in June of 2000 in the face of strong earnings reports and
mounting evidence that economic growth was slowing to a sustainable rate;
however, value stocks once again regained their strength in July. In general,
the market environment in 2000 remained more broadly based than in late 1999.
Guided by our quantitative investment models, we identified and invested in
several strong performing individual stocks.We achieved our strongest returns
from technology and healthcare, while basic materials and consumer staples
detracted from our overall performance. The Fund's portfolio holdings,
allocations and strategies are subject to change.
COMPARING THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE TO THE MARKET
The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment
in each Class of shares of the Fund held until July 31, 2000. In all cases,
performance is measured from commencement of the classes on September 1,
1999.The Fund's performance reflects the deduction of the maximum initial sales
charge on Class A shares and the applicable contingent deferred sales charge for
Class B and Class C shares.The graphs assume that all dividends and capital
gains distributions were reinvested in additional shares.
The Fund's performance is compared to the performance of Standard & Poor's (S&P)
500 Index, a broad-based index of equity securities widely regarded as a general
measure of the performance of the U.S. equity securities market. Index
performance reflects the reinvestment of dividends but does not consider the
effect of capital gains or transaction costs, and none of the data in the graphs
that follow shows the effect of taxes.The Fund's performance reflects the
effects of Fund business and operating expenses.While index comparisons may be
useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund's performance, it must be noted that
the Fund's investments are not limited to those investments found in the index.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Oppenheimer Trinity Core Fund (the Fund) is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an 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 a front-end
sales charge. Class B and Class C shares are sold without a front-end 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 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 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. 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 (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. Short-term "money market type" debt
securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at
amortized cost (which approximates market value.)
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. As of July 31, 2000, the
Fund had available for federal income tax purposes an unused capital loss
carryover as follows:
Expiring
--------------
2008 $41,424
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued
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 DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS 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 its
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 realized gain was
recorded by the Fund.
The Fund adjusts the classification of distributions to shareholders to reflect
the differences between financial statement amounts and distributions determined
in accordance with income tax regulations. Accordingly, during the period ended
July 31, 2000, amounts have been reclassified to reflect a decrease in paid-in
capital of $4,383. Overdistributed net investment income was decreased by the
same amount. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.
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 July 31, 2000, payments
under the Class A plan totaled $4,334 prior to Manager waivers if applicable,
all of which were 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.
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.

4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Continued
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.

5. BANK BORROWINGS
The Fund may borrow from a bank for temporary or emergency purposes including,
without limitation, funding of shareholder redemptions provided asset coverage

credit with a bank, which permits borrowings up to $400 million, collectively.

the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.45%. Borrowings are payable 30 days after such
loan is executed. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata
share of the average unutilized amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.08%
per annum.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Trinity Core Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the statement of investments, of Oppenheimer Trinity Core Fund as of July 31,
2000, and the related statement of operations, statement of changes in net
assets and financial highlights for the period from September 1, 1999
(commencement of operations) to July 31, 2000. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of July 31, 2000, by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers; and where confirmations were not received from brokers, we
performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Oppenheimer Trinity Core Fund as of July 31, 2000, and the results of its
operations, the changes in its net assets and financial highlights for the
period from September 1, 1999 (commencement of operations) to July 31, 2000, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
