How Your Fund Is Managed
Oppenheimer Target Fund seeks long-term growth by investing in the stocks of
medium-sized companies that the Fund's managers believe have excellent growth
potential and are undervalued relative to their future growth prospects.
In today's stock market, the Fund's managers are targeting consumer and
industrial companies with strong earnings momentum, as well as companies that
have excellent growth prospects, especially in the technology sector, such as
computer software and net-working. The Fund also invests in U.S.-based companies
that are believed to have superior growth potential because their products or
services are in high demand abroad.
Performance
Total return at net asset value for the 12 months ended 12/31/95 was 34.85% for
Class A shares and 33.56% for Class C shares.(1)
Your Fund's average annual total returns at maximum offering price for
Class A shares for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year periods ended 12/31/95 were 27.10%,
15.64% and 10.91%, respectively. For Class C shares, average annual total
returns for the 1-year period ended 12/31/95 and since inception of the Class on
12/1/93 were 32.56% and 15.26%, respectively.(2)
Outlook
"We believe the current environment should continue to be good for reasonably
valued companies with above average growth rates. In a slow growth economy, with
low inflation and declining short-term interest rates, com-panies that are able
to grow their earnings better than the market, should continue to command
investors' attention."

Total returns include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and
capital gains distributions. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will
fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less
than the original cost. For more complete information, please review the
prospectus carefully before you invest.
1. Based on the change in net asset value per share for the period shown,
without deducting any sales charges. Such performance would have been lower if
sales charges were taken into account.
2. Class A returns show results of hypothetical investments on 12/31/94,
12/31/90 and 12/31/85, after deducting the current maximum initial sales charge
of 5.75%. Class A shares were first publicly offered on 1/22/81. The Fund's
maximum sales charge for Class A shares was higher during a portion of some of
the periods shown, and actual investment results will be different as a result
of the change. Class C returns show results of hypothetical investments on
12/31/94 and 12/1/93 (inception of class), with the 1% contingent deferred sales
charge deducted for the 1-year result. Class B performance is not shown above
because shares were first publicly offered on 11/1/95. An explanation of the
different performance calculations is in the Fund's prospectus.

1-year period was for 157 capital appreciation funds. The average is shown for

a capital appreciation fund. Lipper performance does not take sales charges into
consideration.

Dear OppenheimerFunds Shareholder,

President
Oppenheimer
Target Fund
The U.S. stock market put on quite a show in 1995 with the Dow Jones Industrial
Average breaking the 5000 barrier. During 1995, conditions were ideal for rising
stock prices. The economy grew fast enough to generate strong corporate
profits--but not so fast as to rekindle inflation. And intermediate- and
long-term interest rates fell sharply, as investors anticipated that the Federal
Reserve Board had shifted from its restrictive monetary policy of the prior
year.
Leading the rally on Wall Street for much of the year were technology
stocks. Even after a bumpy Fall, many stocks in semiconductors, computers,
software and telecommunications doubled during the year. The global demand for
these products--developed and manufactured by American companies--continued
unabated.
The reduction in the rate of growth of health care expenditures is just one
reason why inflation remains moderate. Another reason is the plentiful supply of
inexpensive energy. In addition, the emergence of capitalism throughout the
world has created a global economy of new markets and new competitors, dampening
prices and labor costs. And after many years of promise, technology has finally
created efficiencies in the business environment.
But the primary fuel to stock prices came from corporate profits, which
have been surging in the past few years, due in large part to a rise in U.S.
corporate productivity. The determination of Corporate America to be successful
in today's highly competitive markets has led to a strategy of tight cost
control with an emphasis on efficiency. With a global boom in technology and a
weak dollar in the first half of the year--which made U.S. goods more attractive
overseas--corporate earnings and profitability have remained very strong,
growing about 20% between 1994 and 1995.
With the Dow less than 1000 just 15 years ago and only 2500 five years ago,
it's clear that the stock market's advance has been tremendous. So the question
remains, "Is the case for stocks still strong?"
Certainly, market volatility would be expected at this point in a five year
bull market, especially since there hasn't been a "normal correction" of 10% or
more since 1990. And the slowdown in the economy is likely to translate into
soft profit growth this year.
But the underlying economic conditions that have driven stocks thus
far--moderate growth with low inflation, falling interest rates, and a Corporate
America that's committed to increased efficiency--remain in place. Additionally,
there is increasing demand for U.S. exports in light of expanding international
economies, as well as the increasing belief that U.S. technologies lead the
world. As a result, we believe that the stock market continues to offer a good
value for investors. But, realistically, we don't expect another year like 1995
any time soon.
Your portfolio manager discusses the outlook for your Fund in light of
these broad issues on the following pages. Thank you for your confidence in
OppenheimerFunds, and we look forward to helping you reach your investment goals
in the future.

Q + A [PHOTO-JANE PUTNAM] [PHOTO-MICHAEL LEVINE]
Q What
benefited the
Fund?
An interview with your Fund's managers.
How did the Fund perform over the past year?
While the stock market as a whole has done better than most people expected, the
Fund has performed well over the period, turning in results better than the
average of funds in its class.
Over the past six months, the market--with the excep-tion of July and
August--has dramatically favored larger companies' stocks over smaller
companies'. Although Target Fund has good exposure across market caps, the
majority of our investments is in relatively large firms, so we benefited from
this trend. Undoubtedly, though, the most important reason behind our
performance this half was our spe-cific investment decisions.
[PHOTO-PAUL LAROCCO]
What investments made positive contributions to performance?
The three industry sectors we invested in most heavily over the past six months
were the three best performers in the market--technology, financial services,
and health care. Our substantial weighting in these sectors helped us make the
most of an already strong market. We benefited further from having made good
stock selections within those sectors.1
Over the period, we also added to our holdings in multi-national
corporations--large U.S.-based firms doing a good deal of business abroad. These
companies, hurt in July as investors worried about the effects a strengthening
dollar might have on their overseas sales, appeared to offer significant
opportunity. We took the market's uncertainty as a signal to buy, and we've been
very pleased with the results--consistent growth for a reasonable price.
Were there any investments that didn't perform as well as expected?
By and large, we've been
1. The Fund's portfolio is subject to change.

pleased with the performance of our investments over the period. However,
because the market had already made huge strides by the second half of the year,
we'd become somewhat defensive and allowed our cash position to rise.
What areas are you currently focusing on?
As bottom-up managers, we look more closely at individual companies than at how
the economy might affect the industries they're in. Over the year, we've used
the market's expansion to strengthen our overall portfolio. Near universal price
appreciation allowed us to sell companies we didn't have as much confidence in,
and to focus on higher quality firms. Beyond that, one of the things we're
working on now is taking profits in the areas where we've seen our strongest
performance over the year.
[PHOTO-ROBERT DOLL]
With technology stocks having become more volatile toward the end of the
year, we've begun "recycling" our holdings there. This means that we're taking
profits in the companies that have risen to the price we've targeted for them
and moving the proceeds into strong firms with stock prices that we feel are
low. At the same time, we've been working to eliminate positions in the more
commodity- oriented technology companies. In anticipation of a more selective
market, we're scaling back our investments in areas such as semiconductors and
disk drives in favor of companies that offer a more value-added product.
[PHOTO-JOHN DONEY]
We're currently buying selected brokerage and money management firms, where
we can find them at good prices--we believe they're well-positioned to profit as
the next year unfolds. And we've also added some energy companies. Companies in
this sector have been somewhat out of favor, and we feel they may be poised for
a rebound.
What is your outlook for the Fund?
We believe the current envi-ronment should continue to be good for reasonably
valued companies with above average growth rates. In a slow growth economy, with
low inflation and declining short-term interest rates, companies that are able
to grow their earnings better than the market, should continue to command
investors' attention.[Solid Box]

Notes to Financial Statements
================================================================================
1. Significant
Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Target Fund (the Fund) is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment
company. The Fund's investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The
Fund's investment advisor is OppenheimerFunds,Inc. (the Manager). The Fund
offers Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Class A shares are sold with a
front-end sales charge. Class B and Class C shares may be subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge. All three classes of shares have identical
rights to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class has its
own distribution and/or service plan, expenses directly attributable to a
particular class and exclusive voting rights with respect to matters affecting a
single class. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies
consistently followed by the Fund.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Valuation. Portfolio securities are valued at the close of the New
York Stock Exchange on each trading day. Listed and unlisted securities for
which such information is regularly reported are valued at the last sale price
of the day or, in the absence of sales, at values based on the closing bid or
asked price or the last sale price on the prior trading day. Long-term and
short-term "non-money market" debt securities are valued by a portfolio
pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Such securities which cannot
be valued by the approved portfolio pricing service are valued using
dealer-supplied valuations provided the Manager is satisfied that the firm
rendering the quotes is reliable and that the quotes reflect current market
value, or are valued under consistently applied procedures established by the
Board of Trustees to determine fair value in good faith. Short-term "money
market type" debt securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are
valued at cost (or last determined market value) adjusted for amortization 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, and Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other
than those attributable to a specific class) and 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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trustees' Fees and Expenses. The Fund has adopted a nonfunded 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 year ended
December 31, 1995, a provision of $14,864 was made for the Fund's projected
benefit obligations, and a payment of $2,026 was made to a retired trustee,
resulting in an accumulated liability of $221,911 at December 31, 1995.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date.
18 Oppenheimer Target Fund
<PAGE>
================================================================================
1. Significant Accounting
Policies (continued)
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 the distributions made during the 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
dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may
differ from the year that the income or realized gain (loss) was recorded by the
Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Fund changed the
classification of distributions determined in accordance with income tax
regulations. Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 1995, amounts have
been reclassified to reflect a decrease in paid-in capital and overdistributed
net investment income of $27,750.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the investments are
purchased or sold (trade date) and dividend income is recorded on 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.
================================================================================
2. Shares of
Beneficial Interest
The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of no par value shares of beneficial
interest. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

4. Management Fees
And Other Transactions
With Affiliates
Management fees paid to the Manager were in accordance with the investment
advisory agreement with the Fund which provides for a fee of .75% on the first
$200 million of average annual net assets, .72% on the next $200 million, .69%
on the next $200 million, .66% on the next $200 million and .60% on net assets
in excess of $800 million. The Manager has agreed to reimburse the Fund if
aggregate expenses (with specified exceptions) exceed the most stringent state
regulatory limit on Fund expenses.
For the year ended December 31, 1995, commissions (sales charges paid by
investors) on sales of Class A shares totaled $594,161, of which $190,816 was
retained by OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (OFDI), a subsidiary of the
Manager, as general distributor, and by an affiliated broker/dealer. Sales
charges advanced to broker/dealers by OFDI on sales of the Fund's Class B and
Class C shares totaled $14,218 and $32,832, of which $934 and $1,056,
respectively, was paid to an affiliated broker/dealer. During the year ended
December 31, 1995, OFDI received contingent deferred sales charges of $50 and
$2,953, respectively, upon redemption of Class B and Class C shares as
reimbursement for sales commissions advanced by OFDI at the time of sale of such
shares.
OppenheimerFunds Services (OFS), a division of the Manager, is the transfer
and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund, and for other registered
investment companies. OFS's total costs of providing such services are allocated
ratably to these companies.
Under separate approved plans, each class may expend up to .25% of its net
assets annually to compensate OFDI for costs incurred in connection with the
personal service and maintenance of accounts that hold shares of the Fund,
including amounts paid to brokers, dealers, banks and other institutions. In
addition, Class B and Class C shares are subject to an asset-based sales charge
of .75% of net assets annually, to compensate OFDI for sales commissions paid
from its own resources at the time of sale and associated financing costs. In
the event of termination or discontinuance of the Class B or Class C plan, the
Board of Trustees may allow the Fund to continue payment of the asset-based
sales charge to OFDI for distribution expenses incurred on Class B or Class C
shares sold prior to termination or discontinuance of the plan. At December 31,
1995, OFDI had incurred unreimbursed expenses of $29,515 for Class B and $90,387
for Class C. During the year ended December 31, 1995, OFDI paid $45,762, and
$699, respectively, to an affiliated broker/dealer as compensation for Class A
and Class C personal service and maintenance expenses, and retained $870 and
$28,402, respectively, as compensation for Class B and Class C sales commissions
and service fee advances, as well as financing costs.
================================================================================
5. Acquisition of
Oppenheimer Time Fund
On June 23, 1995, the Fund acquired all of the net assets of Oppenheimer Time
Fund, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization approved by the
Oppenheimer Time Fund shareholders on June 20, 1995. The Fund issued 11,277,345
shares of beneficial interest (Class A), valued at $315,314,574 in exchange for
the net assets, resulting in combined Class A net assets of $686,360,280 on June
23, 1995. The net assets acquired included net unrealized appreciation of
$67,068,398. The exchange qualifies as a tax-free reorganization for federal
income tax purposes.

Independent Auditors' Report
================================================================================
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Target Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statements of investments and assets and
liabilities of Oppenheimer Target Fund as of December 31, 1995, and the related
statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in
net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the
financial highlights for each of the years in the ten-year period then ended.
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 audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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
December 31, 1995, 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 audits provide 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 Target Fund as of December 31, 1995, the results of its operations
for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in
the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the
years in the ten-year period then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Federal Income Tax Information (Unaudited)
================================================================================
In early 1996, shareholders will receive information regarding all dividends and
distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 1995. Regulations of
the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund to report this information to the
Internal Revenue Service.
Distributions of $3.0410, $3.0439, and $2.9076 per share were paid to Class
A, Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively, on December 22, 1995, of
which, for each class of shares, $2.3611 was designated as a "capital gain
distribution" for federal income tax purposes. Whether received in stock or
cash, the capital gain distribution should be treated by shareholders as a gain
from the sale of capital assets held for more than one year (long-term capital
gains).
Dividends paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995
which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by
26.02% to arrive at the net amount eligible for the corporate dividend- received
deduction.
The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting
distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of
the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax
return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend
that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.
