The Fund's Objective and Investment Strategies

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What Is the  Fund's  Investment  Objective?  The  Fund  seeks a high  level of
current income by investing mainly in debt instruments.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What  Does the Fund  Invest  In?  The Fund  invests  at least 65% of its total
assets in investment-grade  debt securities,  U.S.  government  securities and
money   market   instruments,    under   normal   market   conditions.   Those
investment-grade  debt securities can include  domestic and foreign  corporate
debt  obligations,   domestic  and  foreign   government  bonds,  as  well  as
participation interests in loans,  asset-backed  securities,  mortgage-related
securities (including  collateralized mortgage obligations,  or "CMOs") issued
by  private  issuers,  and other  debt  obligations.  In  general,  these debt
securities are referred to as "bonds."

      The Fund's investments in U.S. government  securities include securities
issued  or   guaranteed   by  the  U.S.   government   or  its   agencies   or
federally-chartered  corporate  entities  referred to as  "instrumentalities."
These include mortgage-related U.S. government securities and CMOs.

      There is no set  allocation  of the Fund's  assets  among the classes of
securities  the  Fund  buys  to  meet  the  65%  investment-grade   securities
requirement,  but  currently  the  Fund  focuses  mainly  on  U.S.  government
securities  and  investment-grade  debt  securities  to  do  so  because  they
currently  offer higher  yields than money  market  instruments.  However,  if
market  conditions  change,  the Fund's  portfolio  managers  might change the
relative allocation of the Fund's assets.

      The Fund has no  limitations  on the  range  of  maturities  of the debt
securities  in which it can invest and  therefore  may hold bonds with short-,
medium- or  long-term  maturities.  The Fund can invest up to 35% of its total
assets  in  high-yield  debt  securities  that  are  below   investment  grade
(commonly  referred  to as "junk  bonds").  These  investments  are more fully
explained in "About the Fund's Investments," below.

n How Do the  Portfolio  Managers  Decide What  Securities  to Buy or Sell? In
selecting  securities for the Fund, the Fund's portfolio  managers analyze the
overall  investment  opportunities  and risks in different sectors of the debt
securities  markets by focusing on business cycle analysis and relative values
between the corporate and government sectors.  The portfolio managers' overall
strategy  is to  build  a  broadly  diversified  portfolio  of  corporate  and
government bonds. The portfolio  managers currently focus on the factors below
(which may vary in particular cases and may change over time), looking for:

      o Debt  securities  in market  sectors  that offer  attractive  relative
      value,
      o  Investment-grade securities primarily to help reduce credit risk,

o     High income  potential from different  types of corporate and government
         securities, and

o     Broad  portfolio  diversification  to help reduce the  volatility of the
         Fund's share prices.

Who Is the Fund Designed For? The Fund is designed for investors  seeking high
current  income from a fund that invests  primarily in  investment-grade  debt
securities  but  which  can  also  hold  high-yield   debt  securities   below
investment-grade  to seek higher income.  Those investors should be willing to
assume the credit risks of a fund that typically invests a significant  amount
of its assets in corporate  debt  securities,  and the changes in share prices
that  can  occur  when  interest  rates  change.  The  Fund is  intended  as a
long-term   investment,   not  a  short-term  trading  vehicle,   and  may  be
appropriate for a part of an investor's  retirement  plan portfolio.  However,
the Fund is not a complete investment program.

Main Risks of Investing in the Fund

      All investments  carry risks to some degree.  The Fund's  investments in
debt  securities  are  subject  to  changes  in their  value  from a number of
factors.  They include  changes in general  bond market  movements in the U.S.
and abroad (this is referred to as "market  risk"),  or the change in value of
particular  bonds  because of an event  affecting the issuer (this is known as
"credit  risk").  Changes in interest  rates can also  affect debt  securities
prices (this is known as "interest rate risk").

      These  risks  collectively  form the risk  profile of the Fund,  and can
affect the value of the Fund's  investments,  its investment  performance  and
its price per share.  These risks mean that you can lose money by investing in
the Fund.  When you redeem  your  shares,  they may be worth more or less than
what you paid for them.

      The Fund's investment Manager,  OppenheimerFunds,  Inc., tries to reduce
risks by carefully  researching  securities before they are purchased,  and in
some  cases by using  hedging  techniques.  The Fund  attempts  to reduce  its
exposure to market  risks by  diversifying  its  investments,  that is, by not
holding a substantial  percentage  of the  securities of any one issuer and by
not  investing  too great a percentage of the Fund's assets in any one issuer.
Also,  the Fund does not  concentrate  25% or more of its  investments  in the
securities of issuers in any one industry.

      However,  changes in the overall  market  prices of  securities  and the
income  they pay can occur at any time.  The share price and yield of the Fund
will change daily based on changes in market prices of  securities  and market
conditions,  and in response to other economic  events.  There is no assurance
that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

      |X| Credit Risk.  Debt  securities  are subject to credit  risk.  Credit
risk  relates to the ability of the issuer of a security to make  interest and
principal  payments on the security as they become due. If the issuer fails to
pay interest,  the Fund's income might be reduced,  and if the issuer fails to
repay  principal,  the value of that bond and of the  Fund's  shares  might be
reduced.  Securities  issued or  guaranteed  by the U.S.  Treasury and certain
agencies  that are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.  government
have little  credit risk,  and  securities  issued or guaranteed by other U.S.
government agencies have low credit risks.  However, debt securities issued by
domestic and foreign  corporations  and by foreign  governments are subject to
risks of default.

            o Special Risks of  Lower-Grade  Securities.  Because the Fund can
invest up to 35% of its  total  assets in  securities  (including  convertible
securities) below  investment-grade  to seek higher income,  the Fund's credit
risks  are  greater  than  those  of  funds  that  buy  only  investment-grade
securities.  Lower-grade  debt  securities  may be subject  to greater  market
fluctuations   and  greater  risks  of  loss  of  income  and  principal  than
investment-grade  debt  securities.  Securities that are (or that have fallen)
below  investment-grade  are  exposed  to a greater  risk that the  issuers of
those  securities  might not meet  their  debt  obligations.  Those  risks can
reduce the Fund's share prices and the income it earns.

      n Interest Rate Risks.  The values of debt  securities  (including  U.S.
government  securities  prior to their  maturity)  are  subject to change when
prevailing  interest  rates change.  When interest  rates fall,  the values of
already-issued  debt securities  generally rise. When interest rates rise, the
values of  already-issued  debt securities  generally fall, and the securities
may  sell at a  discount  from  their  face  amount.  The  magnitude  of these
fluctuations  will often be  greater  for  longer-term  debt  securities  than
shorter-term  debt  securities.   However,  interest  rate  changes  may  have
different  effects on the  values of  mortgage-related  securities  because of
prepayment  risks,  discussed below. The Fund's share prices can go up or down
when interest  rates change  because of the effect of interest rate changes on
the value of the Fund's investments in debt securities.

      The  Fund  can buy  zero-coupon  or  "stripped"  securities,  which  are
particularly  sensitive  to interest  rate  changes and the rate of  principal
payments  (and  prepayments).  Their  prices  may go up or down  more than the
prices of other types of debt securities in response to interest rate changes.

      n  Prepayment   Risk.   Prepayment   risk  occurs  when  the   mortgages
underlying  a  mortgage-related  security  are  prepaid at a rate  faster than
anticipated  (usually when interest rates fall) and the issuer of the security
can  prepay  the   principal   prior  to  the   maturity   of  the   security.
Mortgage-related  securities  that are subject to prepayment  risk,  including
the  mortgage-related  securities  that the Fund buys,  generally have greater
potential for loss than other debt securities when interest rates change.

      The impact of  prepayments  on the price of a security  may be difficult
to predict and may increase the  volatility of the price.  The Fund might have
to reinvest  the proceeds of prepaid  securities  in new  securities  offering
lower yields. Additionally,  the Fund can buy mortgage-related securities at a
premium.  Accelerated  prepayments on those securities could cause the Fund to
lose the portion of its principal  investment  represented  by the premium the
Fund paid.

      If interest rates rise rapidly,  prepayments might occur at slower rates
than  expected,  which  could  have the  effect of  lengthening  the  expected
maturity of a short- or medium-term security.  That could cause the security's
value to fluctuate  more widely in response to changes in interest  rates.  In
turn, this could cause the value of the Fund's shares to fluctuate more.

      n There are  Special  Risks in Using  Derivative  Investments.  The Fund
can use  derivatives  to seek increased  income or to try to hedge  investment
risks.  In general  terms, a derivative  investment is an investment  contract
whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying  asset,
interest rate or index.  Options,  futures,  interest-only and  principal-only
securities,    structured   notes,    interest-rate    swap   agreements   and
mortgage-related securities are examples of derivatives the Fund can use.

      If the issuer of the  derivative  does not pay the amount due,  the Fund
can lose money on the investment.  Also, the underlying security or investment
on which  the  derivative  is  based,  and the  derivative  itself,  might not
perform the way the  Manager  expected it to  perform.  If that  happens,  the
Fund's  share  price  could  fall or the  Fund  could  get  less  income  than
expected.   The  Fund  has  limits  on  the  amount  of  particular  types  of
derivatives  it can hold.  However,  using  derivatives  can cause the Fund to
lose money on its  investments  and/or  increase the  volatility  of its share
prices.

How Risky is the Fund  Overall?  Debt  securities  are  subject  to credit and
interest  rate risks that can affect  their values and the share prices of the
Fund.  Prepayment  risks of  mortgage-backed  securities can cause the Fund to
reinvest  proceeds of its  investments in  lower-yielding  securities.  In the
OppenheimerFunds  spectrum,  the Fund generally has more risks than bond funds
that focus primarily on U. S. government  securities,  but the Fund's emphasis
on  investment-grade  securities  may make its share prices less volatile than
high-yield bond funds or funds that focus on foreign bonds.

An  investment  in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or
guaranteed  by  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance   Corporation  or  any  other
government agency.

The Fund's Past Performance

      The bar  chart  and  table  below  show  one  measure  of the  risks  of
investing in the Fund, by showing changes in the Fund's  performance  (for its
Class A  shares)  from  year to year for the past ten  calendar  years  and by
showing how the average  annual total returns of the Fund's shares  compare to
those of a broad-based  market index.  The Fund's past investment  performance
is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Annual Total Returns (Class A) (as of 12/31 each year)

[See  appendix  to  prospectus  for data in bar  chart  showing  annual  total
returns]

For the period  from  1/1/99  through  3/31/99,  the  cumulative  return  (not
annualized)  of Class A shares was -0.46%.  Sales  charges are not included in
the  calculations  of  return in this bar  chart,  and if those  charges  were
included, the returns would be less than those shown.
During  the  period  covered  by  the  bar  chart,  the  highest  return  (not
annualized)  for a calendar  quarter was 6.24%  (2Q'95) and the lowest  return
(not annualized) for a calendar quarter was -3.16% (1Q'94).

The table  shows the  average  annual  total  return  for Class A, Class B and
Class C shares and  includes  the  applicable  sales  charge for each class of
shares:  for Class A, the current maximum  initial sales charge of 4.75%;  for
Class B, the  contingent  deferred  sales charge of 5% (1-year),  2% (5 years)
and 1%  (life-of-class);  and for Class C, the 1%  contingent  deferred  sales
charge for the  1-year  period.  Data is not shown for Class Y shares  because
they were not offered for a full calendar year.

The returns measure the performance of a hypothetical  account and assume that
all  dividends  and  capital  gains  distributions  have  been  reinvested  in
additional  shares.  Because the Fund invests in debt  securities,  the Fund's
performance is compared to the Lehman  Brothers  Corporate  Bond Index,  which
measures  the  performance  of   non-convertible   investment-grade   domestic
corporate  debt  securities.  However,  it must be  remembered  that the index
performance  reflects  the  reinvestment  of income but does not  consider the
effects of  transaction  costs.  Also,  the index does not include  government
securities in which the Fund invests.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

      The Fund pays a variety  of  expenses  directly  for  management  of its
assets,  administration,  distribution of its shares and other services. Those
expenses are  subtracted  from the Fund's  assets to calculate  the Fund's net
asset  value  per  share.  All  shareholders   therefore  pay  those  expenses
indirectly.  Shareholders pay other expenses  directly,  such as sales charges
and account  transaction  charges.  The following  tables are provided to help
you  understand  the fees and  expenses you may pay if you buy and hold shares
of the Fund.  The numbers  below are based on the Fund's  expenses  during its
fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.

investing in the Fund with the cost of investing  in other mutual  funds.  The
examples  assume that you invest  $10,000 in a class of shares of the Fund for
the time periods indicated and reinvest your dividends and distributions.

      The first example  assumes that you redeem all of your shares at the end
of those periods.  The second example assumes that you keep your shares.  Both
examples also assume that your  investment  has a 5% return each year and that
the class's  operating  expenses  remain the same.  Your  actual  costs may be
higher  or  lower  because  expenses  will  vary  over  time.  Based  on these
assumptions your expenses would be as follows:

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If shares are redeemed:      1 Year        3 Years       5 Years     10 Years1
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the first  example,  expenses  include the initial sales charge for Class A
and the applicable  Class B or Class C contingent  deferred sales charges.  In
the second example,  the Class A expenses include the sales charge,  but Class
B and Class C expenses do not include the contingent deferred sales charges.
1.    Class B expenses  for years 7 through 10 are based on Class A  expenses,

   since Class B shares automatically convert to Class A after 6 years.

About the Fund's Investments

The  Fund's  Principal  Investment  Policies.  The  allocation  of the  Fund's
portfolio  among the different types of permitted  investments  will vary over
time based upon the  evaluation  of economic and market trends by the Manager.
The Fund's  portfolio  might not always include all of the different  types of
investments   described  below.   The  Statement  of  Additional   Information
contains more detailed  information about the Fund's  investment  policies and
risks.

      In selecting debt  securities and evaluating  their yield  potential and
credit  risk,   the  Manager  does  not  rely  solely  on  ratings  by  rating
organizations but evaluates  business and economic factors affecting an issuer
as  well.  The debt  securities  the  Fund  buys  may be  rated by  nationally
recognized rating  organizations such as Moody's Investors Service or Standard
& Poor's, or they may be unrated  securities  assigned an equivalent rating by
the  Manager.  "Investment-grade"  rated  securities  are  those  in the  four
highest rating categories of national ratings organizations.  A description of
those  ratings  definitions  is  included in  Appendix A to the  Statement  of
Additional Information.

U.S.  Government  Securities.  The Fund can  invest  in  securities  issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or other agencies or  instrumentalities of the
U.S.  government.  These are referred to as "U.S.  government  securities"  in

this Prospectus.

      n U.S.  Treasury  Obligations.  These include Treasury bills (which have
maturities  of one year or less  when  issued),  Treasury  notes  (which  have
maturities  of from one to ten years when issued),  and Treasury  bonds (which
have maturities of more than ten years when issued).  U.S. Treasury securities
are  backed by the full  faith and  credit of the  United  States as to timely
payments of interest and repayments of principal.  The Fund can also buy U. S.
Treasury  securities  that have been  "stripped" of their coupons by a Federal
Reserve Bank,  zero-coupon  U.S.  Treasury  securities  described  below,  and
Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities ("TIPS").

      n  Obligations  Issued or  Guaranteed  by U.S.  Government  Agencies  or
Instrumentalities.  These  include  direct  obligations  and  mortgage-related
securities  that  have  different  levels  of  credit  support  from  the U.S.
government.  Some are  supported  by the full  faith  and  credit  of the U.S.
government,  some are  supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the
U.S.  Treasury under certain  circumstances,  and others are supported only by
the credit of the entity that issued them.

            o Mortgage-Related  U.S. Government  Securities.  The Fund can buy
interests in pools of  residential  or  commercial  mortgages,  in the form of
collateralized   mortgage   obligations   ("CMOs")  and  other  "pass-through"
mortgage securities.  CMOs that are U.S. government securities have collateral
to secure payment of interest and  principal.  They may be issued in different
series each having different interest rates and maturities.  The collateral is
either in the form of mortgage pass-through  certificates issued or guaranteed
by a U.S.  agency or  instrumentality  or  mortgage  loans  insured  by a U.S.
government  agency.  The Fund  can  have  substantial  amounts  of its  assets
invested in mortgage-related U.S. government securities.

Other Debt Securities.  While the Fund invests  primarily in  investment-grade
debt  securities,  it is not required to dispose of debt  securities that fall
below  investment-grade  after  the Fund buys  them.  However,  the  portfolio
managers  will monitor  those  holdings to  determine  whether the Fund should
sell  them.  While  securities  rated  "Baa"  by  Moody's  or "BBB" by S&P are
considered "investment-grade," they have some speculative characteristics.

      While  investment-grade  securities  are subject to risks of non-payment
of interest and  principal,  in general,  higher-yielding  lower-grade  bonds,
whether   rated  or  unrated,   have  greater   risks  than   investment-grade
securities.  There may be less of a market for them and therefore  they may be
harder to sell at an  acceptable  price.  These  risks can  reduce  the Fund's
share prices and the income it earns.

      n  Private-Issuer  Mortgage-Backed  Securities.  The Fund can  invest in
mortgage-backed  securities issued by private issuers,  such as banks, savings
and loans,  mortgage bankers and other  non-governmental  issuers, that do not
offer  the  credit  backing  of  U.S.  government  securities.  These  include
multi-class  debt or  pass-through  certificates  secured by  mortgage  loans.
Private issuer  mortgage-backed  securities are subject to the credit risks of
the issuers (as well as the interest  rate risks and  prepayment  risks of the
CMOs  discussed  above),  although  in some  cases  they may be  supported  by
insurance or guarantees.

      n Asset-Backed  Securities.  The Fund can buy  asset-backed  securities,
which are fractional  interests in pools of loans  collateralized by the loans
or other  assets or  receivables.  They are  typically  issued  by trusts  and
special purpose  corporations that pass the income from the underlying pool to
the buyer of the interest.  These  securities are subject to prepayment  risks
and the risk of  default  by the  issuer  as well as by the  borrowers  of the
underlying loans in the pool.

Short-Term Debt Securities.  The Fund can buy  high-quality,  short-term money
market  instruments,  including  obligations  of the U.S.  Government  and its
agencies,  short-term corporate debt obligations, bank certificates of deposit
and  bankers'  acceptances,   and  commercial  paper,  which  are  short-term,
negotiable  promissory notes of companies.  Because these  instruments tend to
offer lower yields than other debt  securities,  the Fund  ordinarily does not
invest in them to seek high current  income,  and uses them more for liquidity
and cash management  purposes or for defensive purposes when market conditions
are unstable.

      n Can the Fund's  Investment  Objective and Policies Change?  The Fund's
Board of  Trustees  can change  non-fundamental  investment  policies  without
shareholder  approval,  although  significant  changes  will be  described  in
amendments to this Prospectus.  Fundamental  policies are those that cannot be
changed  without the approval of a majority of the Fund's  outstanding  voting
shares.  The  Fund's  objective  is a  fundamental  policy.  Other  investment
restrictions  that are  fundamental  policies  are listed in the  Statement of
Additional  Information.  An investment policy is not fundamental  unless this
Prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information says that it is.

      n Portfolio  Turnover.  The Fund may engage in short-term trading to try
to achieve  its  objective.  It does not expect to have a  portfolio  turnover
rate in excess of 100% annually.  Portfolio  turnover affects  brokerage costs
the Fund pays. If the Fund realizes  capital gains when it sells its portfolio
investments,   it  must  generally  pay  those  gains  out  to   shareholders,
increasing their taxable distributions.  The Financial Highlights table at the
end of this Prospectus  shows the Fund's  portfolio  turnover rates during the
Fund's five most recent fiscal years.

Other  Investment  Strategies.  To seek its  objective,  the Fund can also use
the investment  techniques and strategies  described  below. The Manager might
not  always  use all of the  different  types of  techniques  and  investments
described  below.  These techniques  involve certain risks,  although some are
meant to help reduce investment or market risks.

      |X| "Structured"  Notes. The Fund can buy "structured"  notes, which are
specially-designed  derivative debt investments whose payments of principal or
interest  payments  are linked to the value of an index (such as a currency or
securities   index)  or  commodity.   The  terms  of  the  instrument  may  be
"structured" by the purchaser (the Fund) and the borrower issuing the note.

      The principal and/or interest  payments depend on the performance of one
or more  other  securities  or  indices,  and the  values of these  notes will
therefore  fall  or rise in  response  to the  changes  in the  values  of the
underlying  security or index.  They are  subject to both credit and  interest
rate  risks  and  therefore  the  Fund  could  receive  more or  less  than it
originally  invested when the notes mature,  or it might receive less interest
than the stated coupon payment if the underlying  investment or index does not
perform as anticipated.  Their values may be very volatile and they may have a
limited  trading  market,  making  it  difficult  for the  Fund  to  sell  its
investment at an acceptable price.

      n Foreign  Securities.  The Fund  typically  invests  a  portion  of its
assets in foreign  debt  securities,  and it has no limit on the amount of its
assets that can be invested in foreign  securities that are  investment-grade.
The Fund can buy debt securities  issued by foreign  governments or companies.
The Fund can buy  securities of  governments  and companies in both  developed
markets and  emerging  markets.  Debt  securities  issued or  guaranteed  by a
foreign  government or its agencies might not be backed by the "full faith and
credit" of the government.

      The Fund's foreign debt  investments can be denominated in U.S.  dollars
or in  foreign  currencies.  The  Fund  will  buy  foreign  currency  only  in
connection  with the  purchase  and  sale of  foreign  securities  and not for
speculation.

            o Risks of  Foreign  Investing.  While  foreign  securities  offer
special  investment  opportunities,  there  are also  special  risks  that can
reduce the Fund's share  prices and returns.  The change in value of a foreign
currency  against the U.S.  dollar will result in a change in the U.S.  dollar
value of  securities  denominated  in that  foreign  currency.  Currency  rate
changes  can also affect the  distributions  the Fund makes from the income it
receives from foreign  securities as foreign  currency  values change  against
the U.S.  dollar.  Foreign  investing  can  result in higher  transaction  and
operating  costs for the Fund.  Foreign  issuers  are not  subject to the same
accounting and disclosure requirements that U.S. companies are subject to.

      The value of foreign  investments  may be affected  by exchange  control
regulations,  expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets,  foreign
taxes, delays in settlement of transactions,  changes in governmental economic
or monetary  policy in the U.S. or abroad,  or other  political  and  economic
factors.

      n Zero-Coupon  and  "Stripped"  Securities.  Some of the  government and
corporate  debt  securities  the Fund buys are  zero-coupon  bonds that pay no
interest  and are issued at a  substantial  discount  from  their face  value.
"Stripped"  securities  are the separate  income or principal  components of a
debt  security.  Some  CMOs  or  other  mortgage-related   securities  may  be
stripped,  with each component  having a different  proportion of principal or
interest payments.  One class might receive all the interest (these are called
"interest-only"  securities)  and the other all the principal  payments (these
are "principal-only" securities).

      Zero-coupon and stripped securities are subject to greater  fluctuations
in price from  interest  rate changes than  interest-bearing  securities.  The
Fund may have to pay out the imputed income on zero coupon securities  without
receiving the actual cash currently.  The prices of  interest-only  securities
are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates.

      The values of interest-only  mortgage  related  securities are also very
sensitive to prepayments of underlying  mortgages.  When underlying  mortgages
are prepaid at  faster-than-anticipated  rates, the Fund loses the anticipated
cash flow from the interest on those mortgages.  Principal-only securities may
also be volatile when interest  rates fall and  prepayments  tend to rise. The
timing  of the cash  flows to these  securities  increases,  increasing  their
fluctuations  in  value.  The  market  for  some of  these  securities  may be
limited,  making it  difficult  for the Fund to dispose of its  holdings at an
acceptable price when it wants to sell them.

      n Preferred  Stock.  Unlike common stock,  preferred stock typically has
a stated  dividend rate.  Preferred  stock  dividends may be cumulative  (they
remain a  liability  of the  company  until they are paid) or  non-cumulative.
When  interest  rates  rise,  the  value  of  preferred  stock  having a fixed
dividend  rate tends to fall.  The right to payment of  dividends on preferred
stock  is  generally  subordinate  to  the  rights  of  a  corporation's  debt
securities.

      n  Illiquid  and  Restricted  Securities.  Investments  may be  illiquid
because  there is no active  trading  market for them,  making it difficult to
value them or dispose of them  promptly at an acceptable  price.  A restricted
security  is one that has a  contractual  restriction  on its  resale or which
cannot be sold publicly  until it is registered  under the  Securities  Act of
1933.  The Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid or
restricted  securities  (the Fund's Board of Trustees can increase  that limit
to 15%).  Certain  restricted  securities  that are  eligible  for  resale  to
qualified  institutional  purchasers  may not be  subject to that  limit.  The
Manager  monitors  holdings  of  illiquid  securities  on an ongoing  basis to
determine whether to sell any holdings to maintain adequate liquidity.

      n  Hedging.  The  Fund  can  buy  and  sell  certain  kinds  of  futures
contracts,  put and call options,  interest rate swaps and forward  contracts.
These are all referred to as "hedging  instruments."  The Fund is not required
to use  hedging  instruments  to seek its  objective.  The  Fund  does not use
hedging  instruments  for speculative  purposes,  and has limits on its use of
them.

      The Fund could buy and sell options,  interest  rate swaps,  futures and
forward  contracts  for a number of purposes.  It might do so to try to manage
its exposure to the  possibility  that the prices of its portfolio  securities
may fall, or to establish a position in the  securities  market as a temporary
substitute  for  purchasing  individual  securities.  It might do so to try to
manage its  exposure to changing  interest  rates.  Forward  contracts  can be
used  to  try  to  manage  foreign   currency  risks  on  the  Fund's  foreign
investments.  Foreign  currency  options  could  be  used  to try  to  protect
against  declines in the dollar value of foreign  securities the Fund owns, or
to  protect  against  an  increase  in  the  dollar  cost  of  buying  foreign
securities.

      Options  trading  involves  the payment of premiums  and has special tax
effects  on the  Fund.  There are also  special  risks in  particular  hedging
strategies.  If the  Manager  used a hedging  instrument  at the wrong time or
judged market  conditions  incorrectly,  the strategy  could reduce the Fund's
return.  The Fund could also  experience  losses if the prices of its  futures
and options  positions were not correlated with its other investments or if it
could not close out a position because of an illiquid market.

Year 2000 Risks.  Because many computer  software  systems in use today cannot
distinguish  the year 2000 from the year 1900,  the markets for  securities in
which the Fund invests could be  detrimentally  affected by computer  failures
beginning  January 1, 2000.  Failure of computer  systems used for  securities
trading  could result in settlement  and  liquidity  problems for the Fund and
other  investors.  That  failure  could  have a  negative  impact on  handling
securities trades, pricing and accounting services.  Data processing errors by
government issuers of securities could result in economic  uncertainties,  and
those  issuers might incur  substantial  costs in attempting to prevent or fix
such  errors,  all  of  which  could  have a  negative  effect  on the  Fund's
investments and returns.

      The Manager,  the  Distributor  and the Transfer Agent have been working
on necessary  changes to their computer systems to deal with the year 2000 and
expect that their  systems  will be adapted in time for that  event,  although
there  cannot  be  assurance  of  success.  Additionally,  the  services  they
provide  depend on the  interaction  of their  computer  systems with those of
brokers,  information  services,  the  Fund's  Custodian  and  other  parties.
Therefore,  any failure of the computer  systems of those parties to deal with
the year 2000 might also have a negative  effect on the services  they provide
to the Fund. The extent of that risk cannot be ascertained at this time.

How the Fund Is Managed

The Manager.  The Fund's investment Manager,  OppenheimerFunds,  Inc., chooses
the Fund's  investments  and  handles  its  day-to-day  business.  The Manager
carries out its duties,  subject to the policies  established  by the Board of
Trustees,  under an Investment  Advisory  Agreement  that states the Manager's
responsibilities.  The  Agreement  sets the fees the Fund pays to the  Manager
and describes the expenses that the Fund is  responsible to pay to conduct its
business.

      The  Manager has  operated  as an  investment  adviser  since 1959.  The
Manager  (including  subsidiaries)  currently  manages  investment  companies,
including other  Oppenheimer  funds,  with assets of more than $100 billion as
of March 31,  1999,  and with more than 4 million  shareholder  accounts.  The
Manager is located at Two World Trade Center,  34th Floor,  New York, New York
10048-0203.

      n Portfolio  Managers.  The portfolio  managers of the Fund are David P.
Negri and John  Kowalik.  Each is a Vice  President of the Fund, a Senior Vice
President  of the  Manager  and an  officer  and  portfolio  manager  of other
Oppenheimer  funds.  They  are the  persons  principally  responsible  for the
day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio,  in Mr. Negri's case since July
10, 1995,  and in Mr.  Kowalik's  case since July 1, 1998.  Mr. Negri has been
employed as a portfolio  manager by the Manager since July 1988.  Mr.  Kowalik
joined  the  Manager in July 1998 and was  previously  Managing  Director  and
Senior  Portfolio  Manager of Prudential  Global  Advisers  (from 1989 to June
1998).

      n Advisory  Fees.  Under the  Investment  Advisory  Agreement,  the Fund
pays  the  Manager  an  advisory  fee  at an  annual  rate  that  declines  on
additional  assets as the Fund  grows:  0.75% of the  first  $200  million  of
average annual net assets of the Fund,  0.72% of the next $200 million,  0.69%
of the next $200 million,  0.66% of the next $200  million,  0.60% of the next
$200  million and 0.50% of average  annual net assets in excess of $1 billion.
The Fund's  management  fee for its last fiscal year ended  December  31, 1998
was 0.74% of average annual net assets for each class of shares.

How to Buy Shares

How Are Shares  Purchased?  You can buy  shares  several  ways -- through  any
dealer,  broker or financial  institution  that has a sales agreement with the
Fund's  Distributor,  or directly  through the  Distributor,  or automatically
through  an  Asset  Builder  Plan  under  the   OppenheimerFunds   AccountLink
service.  The  Distributor  may  appoint  certain  servicing  agents to accept
purchase (and redemption)  orders.  The  Distributor,  in its sole discretion,
may reject any purchase order for the Fund's shares.

      |X| Buying  Shares  Through  Your  Dealer.  Your  dealer will place your
order with the Distributor on your behalf.

      |X| Buying Shares Through the Distributor.  Complete an OppenheimerFunds
New   Account   Application   and   return   it  with  a  check   payable   to
"OppenheimerFunds  Distributor,  Inc."  Mail  it to  P.O.  Box  5270,  Denver,
Colorado  80217.  If  you  don't  list  a  dealer  on  the  application,   the
Distributor  will  act as  your  agent  in  buying  the  shares.  However,  we
recommend  that you discuss your  investment  with a financial  advisor before
you make a purchase to be sure that the Fund is appropriate for you.

      |X| Buying Shares by Federal Funds Wire.  Shares  purchased  through the
Distributor  may be paid for by Federal Funds wire. The minimum  investment is
$2,500.  Before  sending a wire,  call the  Distributor's  Wire  Department at
1-800-525-7048  to notify the  Distributor of the wire, and to receive further
instructions.

      |X|   Buying   Shares   Through   OppenheimerFunds   AccountLink.   With
AccountLink,  shares are  purchased  for your account on the regular  business
day the  Distributor  is instructed by you to initiate the Automated  Clearing
House (ACH)  transfer to buy the shares.  You can provide  those  instructions
automatically,  under an Asset Builder Plan,  described below, or by telephone
instructions using  OppenheimerFunds  PhoneLink,  also described below. Please
refer to "AccountLink," below for more details.

      |X| Buying Shares Through Asset Builder Plans.  You may purchase  shares
of the Fund (and up to four other Oppenheimer funds)  automatically each month
from your  account  at a bank or other  financial  institution  under an Asset
Builder Plan with  AccountLink.  Details are in the Asset Builder  Application
and the Statement of Additional Information.

How Much Must You Invest?  You can open a Fund account with a minimum  initial
investment  of  $1,000  and make  additional  investments  at any time with as
little as $25. There are reduced minimum  investments under special investment
plans.

      |_| With Asset Builder  Plans,  403(b) plans,  Automatic  Exchange Plans
and military allotment plans, you can make initial and subsequent  investments
for as  little  as $25.  Subsequent  purchases  of at least $25 can be made by
telephone through AccountLink.

      o Under  retirement  plans,  such as IRAs,  pension  and  profit-sharing
plans and 401(k) plans,  you can start your account with as little as $250. If
your IRA is started  under an Asset  Builder  Plan,  the $25 minimum  applies.

Additional purchases may be as little as $25.

      |_| The minimum  investment  requirement  does not apply to  reinvesting
dividends from the Fund or other  Oppenheimer funds (a list of them appears in
the  Statement of Additional  Information,  or you can ask your dealer or call
the Transfer Agent), or reinvesting  distributions from unit investment trusts
that have made arrangements with the Distributor.

At What Price Are Shares Sold?  Shares are sold at their  offering  price (the
net asset value per share plus any initial  sales  charge that  applies).  The
offering  price  that  applies  to a  purchase  order  is  based  on the  next
calculation  of the  net  asset  value  per  share  that  is  made  after  the
Distributor  receives the purchase  order at its offices in Denver,  Colorado,
or after any agent appointed by the  Distributor  receives the order and sends
it to the Distributor.

      |_| The net asset value of each class of shares is  determined as of the
close of The New York Stock  Exchange,  on each day the  Exchange  is open for
trading  (referred to in this  Prospectus as a "regular  business  day").  The
Exchange  normally  closes at 4:00 P.M.,  New York time, but may close earlier
on some days. All references to time in this Prospectus mean "New York time."

      The net asset value per share is  determined  by  dividing  the value of
the Fund's net assets  attributable to a class by the number of shares of that
class that are  outstanding.  To determine  net asset value,  the Fund's Board
of Trustees has  established  procedures  to value the Fund's  securities,  in
general based on market value.  The Board has adopted  special  procedures for
valuing  illiquid  restricted  securities  and  obligations  for which  market
values cannot be readily  obtained.  Because some foreign  securities trade in
markets and exchanges  that operate on U.S.  holidays and weekends,  the value
of some of the Fund's  foreign  investments  may change on days when investors
cannot buy or redeem Fund shares.

      |_| To receive the offering  price for a  particular  day, in most cases
the  Distributor or its  designated  agent must receive your order by the time
of day The New  York  Stock  Exchange  closes  that  day.  If  your  order  is
received  on a day when the  Exchange  is closed or after it has  closed,  the
order will  receive  the next  offering  price that is  determined  after your
order is received.

      |_| If you buy shares  through a dealer,  your dealer  must  receive the
order by the  close of The New York  Stock  Exchange  and  transmit  it to the
Distributor so that it is received before the Distributor's  close of business
on a regular  business day (normally 5:00 P.M.) to receive that day's offering
price.  Otherwise,  the order will  receive  the next  offering  price that is
determined.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What  Classes of Shares Does the Fund Offer?  The Fund offers  investors  four

different  classes  of  shares.  The  different  classes  of shares  represent

investments in the same  portfolio of securities,  but the classes are subject

to different  expenses and will likely have different  share prices.  When you

buy  shares,  be sure to specify  the class of shares.  If you do not choose a
class, your investment will be made in Class A shares.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      |X|  Class A  Shares.  If you buy  Class A  shares,  you pay an  initial
sales  charge  (on  investments  up to $1  million  for  regular  accounts  or
$500,000 for certain  retirement  plans). The amount of that sales charge will
vary depending on the amount you invest.  The sales charge rates are listed in
"How Can I Buy Class A Shares?" below.

      |X| Class B Shares.  If you buy Class B shares,  you pay no sales charge

at the time of purchase,  but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge,

and if you sell  your  shares  within  six  years  of  buying  them,  you will

normally pay a contingent  deferred  sales charge.  That  contingent  deferred

sales charge  varies  depending on how long you own your shares,  as described
in "How Can I Buy Class B Shares?" below.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      |X| Class C Shares.  If you buy Class C shares,  you pay no sales charge
at the time of purchase,  but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge,
and if you sell  your  shares  within  12  months  of  buying  them,  you will
normally  pay a contingent  deferred  sales charge of 1%, as described in "How
Can I Buy Class C Shares?" below.

      Class  Y  Shares.   Class  Y  shares   are   offered   only  to  certain
institutional investors that have special agreements with the Distributor.

Which Class of Shares  Should You Choose?  Once you decide that the Fund is an
appropriate  investment  for you,  the decision as to which class of shares is
best  suited to your  needs  depends  on a number of  factors  that you should
discuss  with your  financial  advisor.  Some factors to consider are how much
you plan to  invest  and how long you plan to hold  your  investment.  If your
goals and  objectives  change  over time and you plan to  purchase  additional
shares,  you should  re-evaluate  those factors to see if you should  consider
another class of shares.  The Fund's  operating costs that apply to a class of
shares  and the  effect  of the  different  types  of  sales  charges  on your
investment will vary your investment results over time.

      The  discussion  below is not  intended  to be  investment  advice  or a
recommendation,   because  each  investor's   financial   considerations   are
different.  You should review these factors with your financial  advisor.  The
discussion below assumes that you will purchase only one class of shares,  and
not a combination of shares of different classes.

      |X| How  Long  Do You  Expect  to Hold  Your  Investment?  While  future
financial  needs  cannot be  predicted  with  certainty,  knowing how long you
expect to hold your  investment  will assist you in selecting the  appropriate
class of shares.  Because of the effect of class-based  expenses,  your choice
will also  depend on how much you plan to invest.  For  example,  the  reduced
sales  charges  available  for larger  purchases  of Class A shares may,  over
time,  offset the effect of paying an initial sales charge on your investment,
compared to the effect over time of higher  class-based  expenses on shares of
Class B or Class C.

            |_|  Investing  for the  Shorter  Term.  If you have a  relatively
short-term  investment  horizon (that is, you plan to hold your shares for not
more than six  years),  you should  probably  consider  purchasing  Class A or
Class C shares  rather  than Class B shares.  That is because of the effect of
the Class B contingent  deferred  sales charge if you redeem within six years,
as  well  as the  effect  of the  Class  B  asset-based  sales  charge  on the
investment  return for that class in the  short-term.  Class C shares might be
the  appropriate  choice  (especially  for investments of less than $100,000),
because  there  is no  initial  sales  charge  on  Class  C  shares,  and  the
contingent  deferred  sales  charge  does not apply to amounts  you sell after
holding them one year.

      However,  if you plan to invest more than $100,000 for the shorter term,
then as your investment  horizon  increases  toward six years,  Class C shares
might not be as  advantageous  as Class A shares.  That is because  the annual
asset-based  sales charge on Class C shares will have a greater impact on your
account  over  the  longer  term  than  the  reduced  front-end  sales  charge
available for larger purchases of Class A shares.

      And for  investors  who invest $1 million or more, in most cases Class A
shares will be the most advantageous  choice, no matter how long you intend to
hold your shares.  For that reason,  the Distributor  normally will not accept
purchase  orders of  $500,000  or more of Class B shares or $1 million or more
of Class C shares from a single investor.

            |_|  Investing  for the Longer  Term.  If you are  investing  less
than  $100,000 for the  longer-term,  for example for  retirement,  and do not
expect to need  access to your money for seven  years or more,  Class B shares
may be appropriate.

      Of course,  these examples are based on  approximations of the effect of
current sales charges and expenses  projected over time, and do not detail all
of the  considerations in selecting a class of shares. You should analyze your
options carefully with your financial advisor before making that choice.

      |X| Are There  Differences in Account  Features That Matter to You? Some
account  features  may not be  available  to Class B or Class C  shareholders.
Other  features  (such as  Automatic  Withdrawal  Plans) may not be  advisable
(because of the effect of the  contingent  deferred  sales charge) for Class B
or Class C shareholders.  Therefore,  you should carefully review how you plan
to use your investment account before deciding which class of shares to buy.

      Additionally,  the dividends payable to Class B and Class C shareholders
will be reduced by the  additional  expenses  borne by those  classes that are
not  borne by Class A  shares,  such as the  Class B and  Class C  asset-based
sales charge  described below and in the Statement of Additional  Information.
Share  certificates  are not available for Class B and Class C shares,  and if
you are considering  using your shares as collateral for a loan, that may be a
factor to consider.

      |X| How Does It Affect Payments to My Broker?  A salesperson,  such as a
broker,  may receive  different  compensation  for selling one class of shares
than for selling  another class.  It is important to remember that Class B and
Class C contingent  deferred sales charges and asset-based  sales charges have
the same purpose as the front-end sales charge on sales of Class A shares:  to
compensate the  Distributor  for  commissions  and expenses it pays to dealers
and  financial  institutions  for  selling  shares.  The  Distributor  may pay
additional  compensation  from its own  resources  to  securities  dealers  or
financial  institutions  based  upon the value of shares of the Fund  owned by
the dealer or financial institution for its own account or for its customers.

Special  Sales Charge  Arrangements  and Waivers.  Appendix C to the Statement
of  Additional  Information  details  the  conditions  for the waiver of sales
charges that apply in certain  cases,  and the special sales charge rates that
apply  to  purchases  of  shares  of the  Fund by  certain  groups,  or  under
specified   retirement  plan   arrangements  or  in  other  special  types  of
transactions.

How Can I Buy  Class A  Shares?  Class A shares  are  sold at  their  offering
price,  which is  normally  net asset  value  plus an  initial  sales  charge.
However,  in some  cases,  described  below,  purchases  are not subject to an
initial sales charge,  and the offering price will be the net asset value.  In
other cases, reduced sales charges may be available,  as described below or in
the Statement of  Additional  Information.  Out of the amount you invest,  the
Fund receives the net asset value to invest for your account.

      The sales  charge  varies  depending on the amount of your  purchase.  A
portion of the sales  charge may be retained by the  Distributor  or allocated
to your dealer as commission.  The  Distributor  reserves the right to reallow
the  entire  commission  to  dealers.  The  current  sales  charge  rates  and
commissions paid to dealers and brokers are as follows:

      |X|  Class A  Contingent  Deferred  Sales  Charge.  There is no  initial
sales  charge  on  purchases  of  Class  A  shares  of any  one or more of the
Oppenheimer  funds  aggregating $1 million or more or for certain purchases by
particular  types of retirement plans described in Appendix C to the Statement
of   Additional   Information.   The   Distributor   pays  dealers  of  record
commissions  in an amount  equal to 1.0% of  purchases  of $1  million or more
other than by those retirement  accounts.  For those retirement plan accounts,
the commission is 1.0% of the first $2.5 million,  plus 0.50% of the next $2.5
million,  plus 0.25% of purchases  over $5 million,  calculated  on a calendar
year basis.  In either  case,  the  commission  will be paid only on purchases
that were not  previously  subject  to a  front-end  sales  charge  and dealer
commission.1

      If you  redeem  any of those  shares  within 18 months of the end of the
calendar month of their purchase,  a contingent  deferred sales charge (called
the "Class A  contingent  deferred  sales  charge")  may be deducted  from the
redemption  proceeds.  That sales  charge  will be equal to 1.0% of the lesser
of (1) the  aggregate  net asset value of the  redeemed  shares at the time of
redemption  (excluding  shares  purchased  by  reinvestment  of  dividends  or
capital  gain  distributions)  or (2) the  original  net  asset  value  of the
redeemed shares.  However,  the Class A contingent  deferred sales charge will
not exceed the aggregate  amount of the commissions  the  Distributor  paid to
your dealer on all  purchases of Class A shares of all  Oppenheimer  funds you
made that were subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge.

      In  determining  whether a contingent  deferred  sales charge is payable
when  shares are  redeemed,  the Fund will first  redeem  shares  that are not
subject to the sales charge,  including  shares  purchased by  reinvestment of
dividends  and capital  gains.  Then the Fund will redeem  other shares in the
order in which you  purchased  them.  The Class A  contingent  deferred  sales
charge is waived in certain cases  described in Appendix C to the Statement of
Additional Information.

      The  Class  A  contingent  deferred  sales  charge  is  not  charged  on
exchanges of shares under the Fund's  exchange  privilege  (described  below).
However,  if the shares  acquired by exchange are redeemed  within 18 calendar
months of the end of the  calendar  month in which the  exchanged  shares were
originally purchased, then the sales charge will apply.

How Can I  Reduce  Sales  Charges  for  Class A  Share  Purchases?  You may be
eligible to buy Class A shares at reduced  sales charge rates under the Fund's
"Right of Accumulation" or a Letter of Intent,  as described in "Reduced Sales
Charges" in the Statement of Additional Information:

      |X|  Waivers  of  Class  A  Sales  Charges.  The  Class  A  initial  and
contingent  deferred  sales  charges  are  not  imposed  in the  circumstances
described in Appendix C to the Statement of Additional  Information.  In order
to receive a waiver of the Class A contingent  deferred sales charge, you must
notify the Transfer  Agent when  purchasing  shares whether any of the special
conditions apply.

How Can I Buy Class B Shares?  Class B shares are sold at net asset  value per
share  without  an  initial  sales  charge.  However,  if Class B  shares  are
redeemed within 6 years of their purchase,  a contingent deferred sales charge
will be  deducted  from  the  redemption  proceeds.  The  Class  B  contingent
deferred sales charge is paid to compensate the  Distributor  for its expenses
of providing  distribution-related services to the Fund in connection with the
sale of Class B shares.

      The contingent  deferred sales charge will be based on the lesser of the
net  asset  value of the  redeemed  shares  at the time of  redemption  or the
original  net  asset  value.  The  contingent  deferred  sales  charge  is not
imposed on:

      |_|   the amount of your  account  value  represented  by an increase in
      net asset value over the initial purchase price,
      |_|   shares  purchased  by the  reinvestment  of  dividends  or capital
      gains distributions, or
      |_|   shares  redeemed  in  the  special   circumstances   described  in
      Appendix C to the Statement of Additional Information.

      To determine  whether the contingent  deferred sales charge applies to a
redemption, the Fund redeems shares in the following order:
1.    shares   acquired  by   reinvestment  of  dividends  and  capital  gains

         distributions,
2.    shares held for over 6 years, and

3.    shares held the longest during the 6-year period.

      The amount of the  contingent  deferred  sales charge will depend on the
number of years  since you  invested  and the dollar  amount  being  redeemed,
according to the following schedule:

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                         Contingent Deferred Sales Charge on

                 3 - 4                                    3.0%

                 4 - 5                                    2.0%
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 5 - 6                                    1.0%

            6 and following                               None

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the table,  a "year" is a 12-month  period.  In applying the sales  charge,
all purchases are  considered to have been made on the first regular  business
day of the month in which the purchase was made.

      |X|   Automatic   Conversion   of  Class  B   Shares.   Class  B  shares
automatically  convert to Class A shares 72 months  after you  purchase  them.
This  conversion  feature  relieves  Class B shareholders  of the  asset-based
sales  charge that  applies to Class B shares  under the Class B  Distribution
and Service Plan,  described  below.  The  conversion is based on the relative
net  asset  value of the two  classes,  and no sales  load or other  charge is
imposed.  When  Class B shares  convert,  any other  Class B shares  that were
acquired by the  reinvestment of dividends and  distributions on the converted
shares will also convert to Class A shares.  The conversion feature is subject
to the continued  availability  of a tax ruling  described in the Statement of
Additional Information.

How Can I Buy Class C Shares?  Class C shares are sold at net asset  value per
share  without  an  initial  sales  charge.  However,  if Class C  shares  are
redeemed  within 12 months of their  purchase,  a  contingent  deferred  sales
charge of 1.0% will be  deducted  from the  redemption  proceeds.  The Class C
contingent  deferred  sales charge is paid to compensate the  Distributor  for
its  expenses  of  providing  distribution-related  services  to the  Fund  in
connection with the sale of Class C shares.

      The contingent  deferred sales charge will be based on the lesser of the
net  asset  value of the  redeemed  shares  at the time of  redemption  or the
original  net  asset  value.  The  contingent  deferred  sales  charge  is not
imposed on:

      |_|   the amount of your account  value  represented  by the increase in
      net asset value over the initial purchase price,

o     shares  purchased by the  reinvestment  of  dividends  or capital  gains
         distributions, or

o     shares redeemed in the special circumstances  described in Appendix C to
         the Statement of Additional Information.

      To determine  whether the contingent  deferred sales charge applies to a
redemption, the Fund redeems shares in the following order:
1.    shares   acquired  by   reinvestment  of  dividends  and  capital  gains

         distributions,
2.    shares held for over 12 months, and

3.    shares held the longest during the 12-month period.

Who Can Buy Class Y  Shares?  Class Y shares  are sold at net asset  value per
share without sales charge  directly to certain  institutional  investors that
have  special  agreements  with the  Distributor  for this  purpose.  They may
include  insurance  companies,  registered  investment  companies and employee
benefit plans for example.  Massachusetts  Mutual Life Insurance  Company,  an
affiliate  of the Manager,  may purchase  Class Y shares of the Fund and other
Oppenheimer  funds (as well as Class Y shares of funds advised by  MassMutual)
for asset allocation  programs,  investment  companies or separate  investment
accounts it sponsors and offers to its  customers.  Individual  investors  are
not able to buy Class Y shares directly.

      An  institutional  investor that buys Class Y shares for its  customers'
accounts may impose  charges on those  accounts.  The  procedures  for buying,
selling,  exchanging and  transferring  the Fund's other classes of shares and
the  special  account  features  available  to  investors  buying  those other
classes  of shares do not apply to Class Y shares.  An  exception  is that the
time those orders must be received by the  Distributor or its agents or by the
Transfer  Agent is the same for Class Y as for other share  classes.  However,
those  instructions  must be submitted by the institutional  investor,  not by
its customers for whose benefit the shares are held.

Distribution and Service (12b-1) Plans.

      |X|  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  quarterly  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   quarterly  for  providing   personal   service  and
maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares.

      |X| Distribution  and Service Plans for Class B and Class C Shares.  The
Fund has  adopted  Distribution  and  Service  Plans  for  Class B and Class C
shares to pay the  Distributor  for its services in  distributing  Class B and
Class C shares and  servicing  accounts.  Under the  plans,  the Fund pays the
Distributor  an annual  asset-based  sales charge of 0.75% per year on Class B
shares and on Class C shares.  The Distributor  also receives a service fee of
0.25% per year under each plan.

      The  asset-based  sales  charge and service  fees  increase  Class B and
Class C expenses by 1.00% of the net assets per year of the respective  class.
Because  these fees are paid out of the Fund's  assets on an  on-going  basis,
over time these fees will  increase the cost of your  investment  and may cost
you more than other types of sales charges.

      The  Distributor  uses  the  service  fees  to  compensate  dealers  for
providing  personal  services  for  accounts  that  hold  Class  B or  Class C
shares.  The  Distributor  pays the 0.25%  service  fees to dealers in advance
for the  first  year  after the  shares  were  sold by the  dealer.  After the
shares have been held for a year,  the  Distributor  pays the service  fees to
dealers on a quarterly basis.

      The  Distributor  currently  pays  sales  commission  of  3.75%  of  the
purchase  price of Class B shares to  dealers  from its own  resources  at the
time of sale.  Including  the advance of the  service  fee,  the total  amount
paid by the  Distributor  to the dealer at the time of sales of Class B shares
is therefore  4.00% of the purchase price.  The Distributor  retains the Class
B asset-based sales charge.

      The  Distributor  currently  pays  sales  commissions  of  0.75%  of the
purchase  price of Class C shares to  dealers  from its own  resources  at the
time of sale.  Including  the advance of the  service  fee,  the total  amount
paid by the  Distributor  to the  dealer at the time of sale of Class C shares
is  therefore  1.00%  of  the  purchase  price.   The  Distributor   pays  the
asset-based  sales  charge as an ongoing  commission  to the dealer on Class C
shares that have been outstanding for a year or more.

same rules and  restrictions  as written and telephone  requests  described in
this Prospectus.

OppenheimerFunds  Internet  Web Site.  You can  obtain  information  about the
Fund, as well as your account balance,  on the  OppenheimerFunds  Internet web
site, at  http://www.oppenheimerfunds.com.  Additionally,  shareholders listed
in the account  registration  (and the dealer of record)  may request  certain
account  transactions  through a special  section of that web site. To perform
account transactions,  you must first obtain a personal  identification number
(PIN) by calling the Transfer Agent at  1-800-533-3310.  If you do not want to
have Internet  account  transaction  capability for your account,  please call
the Transfer Agent at 1-800-525-7048.

Automatic  Withdrawal  and  Exchange  Plans.  The Fund has several  plans that
enable  you  to  sell  shares   automatically  or  exchange  them  to  another
OppenheimerFunds  account on a regular  basis.  Please call the Transfer Agent
or consult the Statement of Additional Information for details.

Reinvestment  Privilege.  If you redeem some or all of your Class A or Class B
shares of the Fund,  you have up to 6 months  to  reinvest  all or part of the
redemption  proceeds in Class A shares of the Fund or other  Oppenheimer funds
without paying a sales charge.  This privilege  applies only to Class A shares
that you purchased  subject to an initial sales charge and to Class A or Class
B shares  on which  you  paid a  contingent  deferred  sales  charge  when you
redeemed  them.  This  privilege  does not apply to Class C or Class Y shares.
You must be sure to ask the  Distributor for this privilege when you send your
payment.

Retirement  Plans.  You may buy  shares of the Fund for your  retirement  plan
account.  If you  participate in a plan  sponsored by your employer,  the plan
trustee  or  administrator  must buy the  shares  for your plan  account.  The
Distributor  also offers a number of  different  retirement  plans that can be
used by individuals and employers:

      |X| Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs),  including regular IRAs, Roth
IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, rollover and Education IRAs.

      |X|  SEP-IRAs,  which are  Simplified  Employee  Pensions  Plan IRAs for
small business owners or self-employed individuals.

      |X|  403(b)(7)   Custodial  Plans,  that  are  tax  deferred  plans  for
employees of eligible  tax-exempt  organizations,  such as schools,  hospitals
and charitable organizations.

      |X| 401(k) Plans, which are special retirement plans for businesses.
      |X|  Pension and  Profit-Sharing  Plans,  designed  for  businesses  and

self-employed individuals.

      Please  call  the  Distributor  for  OppenheimerFunds   retirement  plan
documents, which include applications and important plan information.

How to Sell Shares

      You  can  sell  (redeem)  some  or all of  your  shares  on any  regular
business  day.  Your  shares  will  be  sold  at  the  next  net  asset  value
calculated  after your order is received  in proper form (which  means that it
must  comply  with the  procedures  described  below) and is  accepted  by the
Transfer  Agent.  The Fund lets you sell your  shares by writing a letter,  by
using the Fund's checkwriting  privilege or by telephone.  You can also set up
Automatic  Withdrawal  Plans to redeem shares on a regular basis.  If you have
questions about any of these  procedures,  and especially if you are redeeming
shares in a special  situation,  such as due to the death of the owner or from
a  retirement  plan  account,   please  call  the  Transfer  Agent  first,  at
1-800-525-7048, for assistance.

      |X| Certain Requests Require a Signature  Guarantee.  To protect you and
the Fund from fraud, the following  redemption requests must be in writing and
must include a signature  guarantee  (although  there may be other  situations
that also require a signature guarantee):

      |_| You wish to redeem $50,000 or more and receive a check
      |_| The redemption  check is not payable to all  shareholders  listed on

the account statement

      |_| The  redemption  check is not sent to the  address of record on your
account statement

      |_| Shares are being  transferred  to a Fund  account  with a  different
owner or name

      |_| Shares are being  redeemed by someone  (such as an  Executor)  other
than the owners

      |X| Where Can I Have My Signature  Guaranteed?  The Transfer  Agent will
accept a guarantee of your  signature  by a number of financial  institutions,
including:  a U.S. bank, trust company,  credit union or savings  association,
or by a  foreign  bank  that  has a  U.S.  correspondent  bank,  or by a  U.S.
registered dealer or broker in securities,  municipal securities or government
securities,   or  by  a  U.S.  national  securities   exchange,  a  registered
securities  association or a clearing agency.  If you are signing on behalf of
a corporation,  partnership or other business or as a fiduciary, you must also
include your title in the signature.

      |X|  Retirement  Plan  Accounts.  There are special  procedures  to sell
shares in an  OppenheimerFunds  retirement  plan  account.  Call the  Transfer
Agent  for  a  distribution  request  form.  Special  income  tax  withholding
requirements  apply to distributions  from retirement plans. You must submit a
withholding  form with your redemption  request to avoid delay in getting your
money  and if you do not  want  tax  withheld.  If your  employer  holds  your
retirement  plan  account  for you in the name of the  plan,  you must ask the
plan trustee or  administrator  to request the sale of the Fund shares in your
plan account.

How Do I Sell Shares by Mail?   Write a letter of instructions that includes:
      |_| Your name
      |_| The Fund's name
      |_| Your Fund account number (from your account statement)
      |_| The dollar amount or number of shares to be redeemed
      |_| Any special payment instructions
      |_| Any share certificates for the shares you are selling
      |_| The  signatures of all  registered  owners exactly as the account is

registered,

      |_| Any special  documents  requested  by the  Transfer  Agent to assure
      proper authorization of the person asking to sell the shares.

How Do I Sell  Shares by  Telephone?  You and your  dealer  representative  of
record  may also sell your  shares by  telephone.  To receive  the  redemption
price on a regular  business  day,  your call must be received by the Transfer
Agent by the close of The New York Stock  Exchange that day, which is normally
4:00 P.M.,  but may be earlier on some days.  You may not redeem  shares  held
in an  OppenheimerFunds  retirement plan account or under a share  certificate
by telephone.

      |_|   To  redeem   shares   through  a  service   representative,   call
1-800-852-8457

      |_|   To redeem shares automatically on PhoneLink, call 1-800-533-3310

      Whichever  method you use,  you may have a check sent to the  address on
the account  statement,  or, if you have linked your Fund account to your bank
account on AccountLink, you may have the proceeds sent to that bank account.


<PAGE>


Are There Limits on Amounts Redeemed by Telephone?

      |X| Telephone  Redemptions  Paid by Check. Up to $50,000 may be redeemed
by telephone in any 7-day  period.  The check must be payable to all owners of
record  of the  shares  and  must  be  sent  to  the  address  on the  account
statement.  This  service  is not  available  within 30 days of  changing  the
address on an account.

      |X|  Telephone  Redemptions  Through  AccountLink.  There  are no dollar
limits on telephone  redemption  proceeds  sent to a bank  account  designated
when you  establish  AccountLink.  Normally  the ACH  transfer to your bank is
initiated  on the  business  day  after  the  redemption.  You do not  receive
dividends on the  proceeds of the shares you  redeemed  while they are waiting
to be transferred.

How Do I Write Checks  Against My Account?  To write checks  against your Fund
account,  request that privilege on your account  Application,  or contact the
Transfer  Agent for  signature  cards.  They must be signed  (with a signature
guarantee) by all owners of the account and returned to the Transfer  Agent so
that checks can be sent to you to use.  Shareholders  with joint  accounts can
elect in writing to have checks paid over the  signature of one owner.  If you
previously  signed a  signature  card to  establish  checkwriting  in  another
Oppenheimer  fund, simply call  1-800-525-7048 to request  checkwriting for an
account in this Fund with the same registration as the other account.

      o Checks can be written to the order of whomever  you wish,  but may not
be cashed at the bank through  which they are payable or the Fund's  custodian
bank.

      o  Checkwriting  privileges  are  not  available  for  accounts  holding
shares that are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.

      o  Checks must be written for at least $100.

      o Checks  cannot be paid if they are written for more than your  account
value.

      o You may not  write a check  that  would  require  the  Fund to  redeem
shares that were purchased by check or Asset Builder Plan payments  within the
prior 10 days.

      o Don't use your checks if you changed your Fund account  number,  until
you receive new checks.

Can I Sell Shares Through My Dealer?  The Distributor has made arrangements to
repurchase   Fund  shares  from   dealers  and  brokers  on  behalf  of  their
customers.  Brokers or dealers  may charge for that  service.  If your  shares
are held in the name of your dealer, you must redeem them through your dealer.

How to Exchange Shares

      Shares of the Fund may be  exchanged  for shares of certain  Oppenheimer
funds at net  asset  value per share at the time of  exchange,  without  sales
charge.  To exchange shares, you must meet several conditions:

      |_| Shares of the fund  selected for exchange must be available for sale
in your state of residence.

      |_| The  prospectuses of this Fund and the fund whose shares you want to
buy must offer the exchange privilege.

      |_| You must hold the shares  you buy when you  establish  your  account
for at least 7 days before you can exchange them.  After the account is open 7
days, you can exchange shares every regular business day.

      |_| You must meet the  minimum  purchase  requirements  for the fund you
purchase by exchange.

      |_|  Before  exchanging  into a fund,  you  should  obtain  and read its
prospectus.

      Shares  of a  particular  class of the Fund  may be  exchanged  only for
shares of the same class in the other  Oppenheimer  funds.  For  example,  you
can  exchange  Class A shares of this Fund only for Class A shares of  another
fund. In some cases,  sales  charges may be imposed on exchange  transactions.
For tax  purposes,  exchanges  of shares  involve a sale of the  shares of the
fund you own and a purchase of the shares of the other fund,  which may result
in a capital  gain or loss.  Please  refer to "How to Exchange  Shares" in the
Statement of Additional Information for more details.

How Do I Submit  Exchange  Requests?  Exchanges may be requested in writing or
by telephone:

n     Written Exchange Requests.  Submit an OppenheimerFunds  Exchange Request
form,  signed by all owners of the account.  Send it to the Transfer  Agent at
the address on the back  cover.  Exchanges  of shares held under  certificates
cannot be processed unless the Transfer Agent receives the  certificates  with
the request.

      |X| Telephone  Exchange  Requests.  Telephone  exchange  requests may be
made  either by  calling a service  representative  at  1-800-852-8457,  or by
using PhoneLink for automated exchanges by calling  1-800-533-3310.  Telephone
exchanges may be made only between  accounts that are registered with the same
name(s) and address.  Shares held under  certificates  may not be exchanged by
telephone.

      You  can  find a list  of  Oppenheimer  funds  currently  available  for
exchanges in the Statement of Additional  Information or obtain one by calling
a service  representative  at  1-800-525-7048.  That list can change from time
to time.

Are There  Limitations on Exchanges?  There are certain exchange  policies you
should be aware of:

      |_| Shares are normally  redeemed from one fund and  purchased  from the
other fund in the exchange  transaction  on the same  regular  business day on
which the Transfer  Agent  receives an exchange  request that  conforms to the
policies  described  above.  It must be  received by the close of The New York
Stock  Exchange  that day,  which is normally  4:00 P.M. but may be earlier on
some days.  However,  either fund may delay the purchase of shares of the fund
you are  exchanging  into  up to  seven  days if it  determines  it  would  be
disadvantaged  by a same-day  exchange.  For example,  the receipt of multiple
exchange  requests  from a  "market  timer"  might  require  the  Fund to sell
securities at a disadvantageous time and/or price.

      |_|  Because  excessive  trading  can  hurt  fund  performance  and harm
shareholders,  the Fund reserves the right to refuse any exchange request that
it believes will  disadvantage  it, or to refuse  multiple  exchange  requests
submitted by a shareholder or dealer.

      |_| The Fund may amend,  suspend or terminate the exchange  privilege at
any time.  Although  the Fund will  attempt to provide you notice  whenever it
is reasonably able to do so, it may impose these changes at any time.

      |_| If the  Transfer  Agent  cannot  exchange all the shares you request
because of a restriction  cited above,  only the shares  eligible for exchange
will be exchanged.

Shareholder Account Rules and Policies

More  information  about the Fund's  policies and procedures  for buying,  and
selling and  exchanging  shares is  contained in the  Statement of  Additional
Information.

      |X| The offering of shares may be  suspended  during any period in which
the  determination  of net asset value is  suspended,  and the offering may be
suspended  by the Board of  Trustees  at any time the Board  believes it is in
the Fund's best interest to do so.

      |X| Telephone  Transaction  Privileges  for  purchases,  redemptions  or
exchanges  may be modified,  suspended or  terminated by the Fund at any time.
If an account  has more than one owner,  the Fund and the  Transfer  Agent may
rely on the instructions of any one owner.  Telephone privileges apply to each
owner of the account and the dealer  representative  of record for the account
unless the Transfer Agent receives cancellation  instructions from an owner of
the account.

      |X| The Transfer  Agent will record any  telephone  calls to verify data
concerning  transactions  and has adopted  other  procedures  to confirm  that
telephone  instructions  are  genuine,  by  requiring  callers to provide  tax
identification  numbers  and  other  account  data or by  using  PINs,  and by
confirming such transactions in writing.  The Transfer Agent and the Fund will
not be liable for losses or  expenses  arising out of  telephone  instructions
reasonably believed to be genuine.

      |X|  Redemption  or  transfer  requests  will not be  honored  until the
Transfer  Agent receives all required  documents in proper form.  From time to
time,  the  Transfer  Agent  in  its  discretion  may  waive  certain  of  the
requirements for redemptions stated in this Prospectus.

      |X| Dealers that can perform account  transactions  for their clients by
participating  in  NETWORKING   through  the  National   Securities   Clearing
Corporation  are  responsible  for  obtaining  their  clients'  permission  to
perform  those  transactions,  and are  responsible  to their  clients who are
shareholders of the Fund if the dealer  performs any  transaction  erroneously
or improperly.

      |X| The  redemption  price for shares  will vary from day to day because
the  value  of  the  securities  in  the  Fund's  portfolio  fluctuates.   The
redemption  price,  which is the net asset  value  per  share,  will  normally
differ for each class of shares.  The  redemption  value of your shares may be
more or less than their original cost.

      |X|  Payment  for  redeemed  shares  ordinarily  is made in cash.  It is
forwarded  by check or through  AccountLink  (as  elected by the  shareholder)
within seven days after the Transfer  Agent receives  redemption  instructions
in  proper  form.  However,  under  unusual  circumstances  determined  by the
Securities and Exchange Commission,  payment may be delayed or suspended.  For
accounts  registered in the name of a broker-dealer,  payment will normally be
forwarded within three business days after redemption.

      |X| The  Transfer  Agent may delay  forwarding  a check or  processing a
payment via  AccountLink  for recently  purchased  shares,  but only until the
purchase  payment has  cleared.  That delay may be as much as 10 days from the
date the shares  were  purchased.  That  delay may be avoided if you  purchase
shares by Federal Funds wire or certified  check, or arrange with your bank to
provide  telephone  or  written  assurance  to the  Transfer  Agent  that your
purchase payment has cleared.

      |X|  Involuntary  redemptions  of small accounts may be made by the Fund
if the account  value has fallen below $1,000 for reasons  other than the fact
that the  market  value of  shares  has  dropped.  In some  cases  involuntary
redemptions  may be  made  to  repay  the  Distributor  for  losses  from  the
cancellation of share purchase orders.

      |X| Shares may be "redeemed in kind" under unusual  circumstances  (such
as a lack of liquidity  in the Fund's  portfolio  to meet  redemptions).  This
means that the redemption  proceeds will be paid with liquid  securities  from
the Fund's portfolio.

      |X| "Backup  Withholding"  of federal income tax may be applied  against
taxable   dividends,   distributions   and  redemption   proceeds   (including
exchanges)  if you fail to furnish  the Fund your  correct,  certified  Social
Security or Employer Identification Number when you sign your application,  or
if you under-report your income to the Internal Revenue Service.

      |X| To avoid sending  duplicate  copies of materials to households,  the
Fund  will  mail  only one  copy of each  annual  and  semi-annual  report  to
shareholders  having the same last name and  address  on the  Fund's  records.
However,  each  shareholder may call the Transfer Agent at  1-800-525-7048  to
ask that copies of those materials be sent personally to that shareholder.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

Dividends.  The Fund intends to declare dividends separately for each class of
shares from net  investment  income on each  regular  business  day and to pay
those  dividends to  shareholders  monthly on a date  selected by the Board of
Trustees.  Daily  dividends  will not be declared  or paid on  newly-purchased
shares  until  Federal  Funds  are  available  to the Fund  from the  purchase
payment for the shares.

      The Fund  attempts  to pay  dividends  on Class A shares  at a  constant
level.  There  is no  assurance  that it will be able to do so.  The  Board of
Trustees  may change the  targeted  dividend  rate at any time  without  prior
notice to  shareholders.  Additionally,  the amount of those dividends and the
dividends paid on Class B and Class C shares may vary over time,  depending on
market  conditions,  the  composition  of the Fund's  portfolio,  and expenses
borne by the  particular  class of shares.  Dividends and other  distributions
paid on Class A and Class Y shares will  generally  be higher  than  dividends
for Class B and Class C shares,  which  normally  have  higher  expenses  than
Class A or Class Y. The Fund cannot  guarantee  that it will pay any dividends
or other distributions.


<PAGE>


Capital  Gains.  The Fund may realize  capital  gains on the sale of portfolio
securities.  If it does, it may make  distributions  out of any net short-term
or  long-term  capital  gains  in  December  of each  year.  The Fund may make
supplemental  distributions  of dividends and capital gains  following the end
of its  fiscal  year.  There  can be no  assurance  that the Fund will pay any
capital gains distributions in a particular year.

What  Choices  Do I Have for  Receiving  Distributions?  When  you  open  your
account,  specify on your  application  how you want to receive your dividends
and distributions.  You have four options:

      |X| Reinvest All  Distributions  in the Fund.  You can elect to reinvest
all dividends and long-term  capital gains  distributions in additional shares

of the Fund.

      |X| Reinvest Long-Term Capital Gains Only.  You can elect to reinvest
long-term capital gains distributions in the Fund while receiving dividends
by check or having them sent to your bank account through AccountLink.

      |X|  Receive  All  Distributions  in Cash.  You can  elect to  receive a
check for all  dividends and long-term  capital  gains  distributions  or have

them sent to your bank through AccountLink.

      |X| Reinvest Your  Distributions  in Another  OppenheimerFunds  Account.
You can  reinvest  all  distributions  in the same  class of shares of another

OppenheimerFunds account you have established.

Taxes. If your shares are not held in a tax-deferred retirement account, you
should be aware of the following tax implications of investing in the Fund.
Distributions are subject to federal income tax and may be subject to state
or local taxes. Dividends paid from short-term capital gains and net
investment income are taxable as ordinary income.  Long-term capital gains
are taxable as long-term capital gains when distributed to shareholders.  It
does not matter how long you have held your shares. Whether you reinvest your
distributions in additional shares or take them in cash, the tax treatment is
the same.

      Every year the Fund will send you and the IRS a statement showing the
amount of any taxable distribution you received in the previous year. Any
long-term capital gains will be separately identified in the tax information
the Fund sends you after the end of the calendar year.

      |X| Avoid "Buying a Distribution".  If you buy shares on or just before
the Fund declares a capital gain distribution, you will pay the full price
for the shares and then receive a portion of the price back as a taxable
capital gain.

      |X|  Remember,  There May be Taxes on  Transactions.  Because the Fund's
share price  fluctuates,  you may have a capital gain or loss when you sell or
exchange  your shares.  A capital gain or loss is the  difference  between the
price you paid for the shares and the price you  received  when you sold them.

Any capital gain is subject to capital gains tax.


<PAGE>


      |X|  Returns of  Capital  Can Occur.  In  certain  cases,  distributions
made by the  Fund  may be  considered  a  non-taxable  return  of  capital  to
shareholders.   If  that  occurs,   it  will  be   identified  in  notices  to
shareholders.

      This  information  is only a  summary  of  certain  federal  income  tax
information  about your  investment.  You should consult with your tax adviser
about  the  effect  of an  investment  in the  Fund  on  your  particular  tax
situation.

Financial Highlights

The Financial  Highlights Table is presented to help you understand the Fund's
financial  performance  for  the  past 5  fiscal  years.  Certain  information
reflects  financial  results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the
table  represent  the rate that an investor  would have earned (or lost) on an
investment  in  the  Fund   (assuming   reinvestment   of  all  dividends  and
distributions).  This  information  has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP,
the  Fund's  independent  auditors,   whose  report,  along  with  the  Fund's
financial statements,  is included in the Statement of Additional Information,
which is available on request.

Additional Information About the Fund's Investment Policies and Risks

      The  investment  objective,  the principal  investment  policies and the
main risks of the Fund are  described  in the  Prospectus.  This  Statement of
Additional Information contains supplemental  information about those policies
and risks and the types of  securities  that the  Fund's  investment  Manager,
OppenheimerFunds,  Inc.,  can select for the Fund.  Additional  information is
also  provided  about the  strategies  that the Fund may use to try to achieve
its objectives.

The Fund's  Investment  Policies.  The composition of the Fund's portfolio and
the techniques and strategies that the Manager may use in selecting  portfolio
securities  will vary over time.  The Fund is not  required  to use all of the
investment  techniques and strategies  described below in seeking its goal. It
may use some of the  special  investment  techniques  and  strategies  at some
times or not at all.

      In selecting securities for the Fund's portfolio,  the Manager evaluates
the merits of particular  securities primarily through the exercise of its own
investment analysis. In the case of non-governmental  issues, that process may
include,   among  other  things,   evaluation   of  the  issuer's   historical
operations,  prospects  for the  industry  of which the  issuer  is part,  the
issuer's financial  condition,  its pending product  developments and business
(and  those of  competitors),  the  effect  of  general  market  and  economic
conditions on the issuer's  business,  and  legislative  proposals  that might
affect the issuer.  In the case of foreign  issuers,  the Manager may consider
general economic conditions,  the conditions of a particular country's economy
in relation to the U.S. economy or other foreign economies,  general political
conditions in a country or region,  the effect of taxes,  the efficiencies and
costs of particular markets (as well as their liquidity) and other factors.

         n  Debt  Securities.  The  Fund  can  invest  in a  variety  of  debt
securities to seek its objective.  Foreign debt  securities are subject to the
risks of foreign securities  described below. In general,  debt securities are
also subject to two  additional  types of risk:  credit risk and interest rate
risk.

            |_|  Credit  Risk.  Credit  risk  relates  to the  ability  of the
issuer to meet  interest or principal  payments or both as they become due. In
general,  lower-grade,  higher-yield  bonds are  subject  to credit  risk to a
greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.

      The Fund's investments  primarily are  investment-grade  debt securities
and U.S. government securities. U.S. government securities,  although unrated,
are generally  considered to be equivalent to securities in the highest rating
categories.  Investment-grade  bonds are bonds rated at least "Baa" by Moody's
Investors  Service,  Inc.,  or at least  "BBB"  by  Standard  & Poor's  Rating
Service or Duff & Phelps,  Inc.,  or that have  comparable  ratings by another
nationally-recognized   rating   organization.   The   Fund   can   also   buy
non-investment-grade debt securities (commonly referred to as "junk bonds").

      In making  investments in debt securities,  the Manager may rely to some
extent on the ratings of ratings  organizations or it may use its own research
to evaluate a security's  credit-worthiness.  If securities  the Fund buys are
unrated,  to be  considered  part of the Fund's  holdings of  investment-grade
securities,  they must be judged by the Manager to be of comparable quality to
bonds rated as investment grade by a rating organization.

            o  Interest   Rate  Risk.   Interest   rate  risk  refers  to  the
fluctuations  in  value  of  debt   securities   resulting  from  the  inverse
relationship  between  price and yield.  For  example,  an increase in general
interest  rates will tend to reduce the market  value of  already-issued  debt
securities,  and a decline in  general  interest  rates will tend to  increase
their value.  In addition,  debt securities  having longer  maturities tend to
offer higher yields,  but are subject to potentially  greater  fluctuations in
value  from  changes  in  interest  rates  than  obligations   having  shorter
maturities.

      Fluctuations in the market value of debt securities  after the Fund buys
them will not affect the interest income payable on those  securities  (unless
the  security  pays  interest  at a  variable  rate  pegged to  interest  rate
changes).   However,  those  price  fluctuations  will  be  reflected  in  the
valuations of the  securities,  and therefore the Fund's net asset values will
be affected by those fluctuations.

            o Special  Risks of  Lower-Grade  Securities.  The Fund can invest
in lower-grade debt securities.  Because lower-grade  securities tend to offer
higher  yields  than  investment-grade  securities,  the Fund might  invest in
lower-grade securities if the Manager is trying to achieve higher income.

      "Lower-grade" debt securities are those rated below "investment  grade,"
which  means  they have a rating  lower  than  "Baa" by  Moody's or lower than
"BBB" by  Standard  & Poor's or Duff & Phelps,  or  similar  ratings  by other
rating  organizations.  If they are unrated, and are determined by the Manager
to be of comparable  quality to debt securities rated below investment  grade,
they are considered part of the Fund's portfolio of lower-grade securities.

      Some  of  the  special  credit  risks  of  lower-grade   securities  are
discussed  below.  There is a greater  risk that the issuer may default on its
obligation  to  pay  interest  or to  repay  principal  than  in the  case  of
investment-grade  securities.  The issuer's low  creditworthiness may increase
the potential  for its  insolvency.  An overall  decline in values in the high
yield bond  market is also more likely  during a period of a general  economic
downturn.  An  economic  downturn  or an  increase  in  interest  rates  could
severely  disrupt the market for high yield  bonds,  adversely  affecting  the
values of outstanding  bonds as well as the ability of issuers to pay interest
or repay principal.  In the case of foreign high yield bonds,  these risks are
in  addition  to the  special  risks of  foreign  investing  discussed  in the
Prospectus and in this Statement of Additional Information.

      To the extent they can be converted into stock,  convertible  securities
may be less subject to some of the risks of  volatility  than  non-convertible
high yield bonds,  since stock may be more liquid and less affected by some of
these risk factors.

      While  securities  rated  "Baa" by Moody's or "BBB" by Standard & Poor's
or Duff & Phelps are  investment  grade and are not  regarded  as junk  bonds,
those  securities  may be subject to special  risks and have some  speculative
characteristics.  Definitions  of the  debt  security  ratings  categories  of
Moody's,  Standard  & Poor's,  Fitch/IBCA  and Duff & Phelps are  included  in
Appendix A to this Statement of Additional Information.

      n Mortgage-Related  Securities.  Mortgage-related  securities are a form
of derivative investment  collateralized by pools of commercial or residential
mortgages.  Pools of mortgage  loans are assembled as  securities  for sale to
investors  by  government  agencies or entities or by private  issuers.  These
securities include  collateralized  mortgage  obligations  ("CMOs"),  mortgage
pass-through securities, stripped mortgage pass-through securities,  interests
in  real  estate  mortgage  investment  conduits  ("REMICs")  and  other  real
estate-related securities.

      Mortgage-related  securities  that are issued or  guaranteed by agencies
or  instrumentalities  of the U.S.  government have  relatively  little credit
risk  (depending on the nature of the issuer) but are subject to interest rate
risks and prepayment risks, as described in the Prospectus.

      As  with  other  debt   securities,   the  prices  of   mortgage-related
securities tend to move inversely to changes in interest  rates.  The Fund can
buy  mortgage-related  securities that have interest rates that move inversely
to changes  in  general  interest  rates,  based on a  multiple  of a specific
index.  Although  the value of a  mortgage-related  security  may decline when
interest rates rise, the converse is not always the case.

      In periods of declining interest rates,  mortgages are more likely to be
prepaid.  Therefore,  a mortgage-related  security's maturity can be shortened
by unscheduled  prepayments on the underlying mortgages.  Therefore, it is not
possible to predict  accurately  the security's  yield.  The principal that is
returned earlier than expected may have to be reinvested in other  investments
having a lower yield than the prepaid  security.  Therefore,  these securities
may be  less  effective  as a  means  of  "locking  in"  attractive  long-term
interest  rates,  and they may have less  potential  for  appreciation  during
periods of declining  interest rates, than conventional  bonds with comparable
stated maturities.

      Prepayment risks can lead to substantial  fluctuations in the value of a
mortgage-related  security.  In turn,  this can affect the value of the Fund's
shares. If a  mortgage-related  security has been purchased at a premium,  all
or part of the  premium the Fund paid may be lost if there is a decline in the
market value of the security,  whether that results from interest rate changes
or  prepayments  on  the  underlying  mortgages.   In  the  case  of  stripped
mortgage-related  securities,  if they experience  greater rates of prepayment
than were anticipated,  the Fund may fail to recoup its initial  investment on
the security.

      During  periods  of  rapidly  rising  interest  rates,   prepayments  of
mortgage-related  securities may occur at slower than expected  rates.  Slower
prepayments  effectively may lengthen a mortgage-related  security's  expected
maturity.  Generally,  that would cause the value of the security to fluctuate
more widely in responses to changes in interest  rates.  If the prepayments on
the Fund's  mortgage-related  securities were to decrease broadly,  the Fund's
sensitivity to interest rate changes would increase.

      As  with  other  debt   securities,   the  values  of   mortgage-related
securities  may be  affected  by changes  in the  market's  perception  of the
creditworthiness  of the entity issuing the securities or  guaranteeing  them.
Their  values may also be affected by changes in  government  regulations  and
tax policies.

            o     Collateralized    Mortgage    Obligations.    Collateralized
mortgage  obligations  or  "CMOs,"  are  multi-class  bonds that are backed by
pools of mortgage  loans or mortgage  pass-through  certificates.  They may be
collateralized by:
(1)   pass-through  certificates  issued or guaranteed by Government  National

            Mortgage  Association  (Ginnie  Mae),  Federal  National  Mortgage
            Association   (Fannie   Mae),   or  Federal  Home  Loan   Mortgage

            Corporation (Freddie Mac),

(2)   unsecuritized   mortgage   loans   insured   by  the   Federal   Housing
            Administration  or  guaranteed  by  the  Department  of  Veterans'
            Affairs,

(3)   unsecuritized conventional mortgages,
(4)   other mortgage-related securities, or
(5)   any combination of these.

      Each class of CMO,  referred to as a "tranche,"  is issued at a specific
coupon rate and has a stated maturity or final  distribution  date.  Principal
prepayments on the  underlying  mortgages may cause the CMO to be retired much
earlier than the stated  maturity or final  distribution  date.  The principal
and interest on the  underlying  mortgages may be allocated  among the several
classes of a series of a CMO in different  ways. One or more tranches may have
coupon rates that reset  periodically  at a specified  increase over an index.
These are floating  rate CMOs,  and  typically  have a cap on the coupon rate.
Inverse  floating  rate CMOs  have a coupon  rate  that  moves in the  reverse
direction to an applicable  index. The coupon rate on these CMOs will increase
as general interest rates decrease.  These are usually much more volatile than
fixed rate CMOs or floating rate CMOs.

      n  U.S.   Government   Securities.   These  are  securities   issued  or
guaranteed  by  the  U.S.  Treasury  or  other  U.S.  government  agencies  or
federally-chartered  corporate  entities  referred to as  "instrumentalities."
The obligations of U.S. government agencies or  instrumentalities in which the
Fund can invest may or may not be  guaranteed  or supported by the "full faith
and credit" of the United  States.  "Full faith and  credit"  means  generally
that the taxing  power of the U.S.  government  is  pledged to the  payment of
interest  and  repayment  of  principal  on a  security.  If a security is not
backed by the full  faith and credit of the  United  States,  the owner of the
security  must look  principally  to the agency  issuing  the  obligation  for
repayment.  The owner  might not be able to assert a claim  against the United
States if the issuing agency or instrumentality does not meet its commitment.

            o U.S. Treasury  Obligations.  These include Treasury bills (which
have  maturities of one year or less when issued),  Treasury notes (which have
maturities  of from one to ten years when issued),  and Treasury  bonds (which
have maturities of more than ten years when issued).  Treasury  securities are
backed  by the full  faith  and  credit  of the  United  States  as to  timely
payments  of  interest  and  repayments  of  principal.  Other  U.S.  Treasury
obligations the Fund can buy include U. S. Treasury  securities that have been
"stripped" by a Federal Reserve Bank,  zero-coupon  U.S.  Treasury  securities
described below, and Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities ("TIPS").

            o Obligations Issued or Guaranteed by U.S.  Government Agencies or
Instrumentalities.  These  include  direct  obligations  and  mortgage-related
securities  that have different  levels of credit support from the government.
Some are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S.  government,  such
as   Government   National   Mortgage   Association    pass-through   mortgage
certificates  (called "Ginnie  Maes").  Some are supported by the right of the
issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury under certain  circumstances,  such as
Federal National Mortgage  Association bonds. Others are supported only by the
credit of the entity  that issued  them,  such as Federal  Home Loan  Mortgage
Corporation obligations.

            o  Mortgage-Related  U.S.  Government  Securities.  These  include
interests in pools of  residential  or  commercial  mortgages,  in the form of
collateralized   mortgage  obligations  and  other   "pass-through"   mortgage
securities.  CMOs  that are U.S.  government  securities  have  collateral  to
secure  payment of interest  and  principal.  They may be issued in  different
series with different interest rates and maturities.  The collateral is either
in the form of mortgage  pass-through  certificates  issued or guaranteed by a
U.S. agency or instrumentality or mortgage loans insured by a U.S.  government
agency.  The Fund can have  significant  amounts  of its  assets  invested  in
mortgage-related U.S. government securities.

      The prices and yields of CMOs are  determined,  in part, by  assumptions
about the cash flows from the rate of  payments of the  underlying  mortgages.
Changes in interest rates may cause the rate of expected  prepayments of those
mortgages to change.  In general,  prepayments  increase when general interest
rates fall and decrease when interest rates rise.

      If prepayments of mortgages  underlying a CMO occur faster than expected
when  interest  rates  fall,  the  market  value  and yield of the CMO will be
reduced.  Additionally,  the Fund may have to reinvest the prepayment proceeds
in other  securities  paying  interest at lower rates,  which could reduce the
Fund's yield.

      When interest rates rise rapidly,  if prepayments occur more slowly than
expected,  a short-  or  medium-term  CMO can in  effect  become  a  long-term
security,  subject to greater  fluctuations in value. These are the prepayment
risks  described  above and can make the  prices of CMOs  very  volatile  when
interest  rates change.  The prices of  longer-term  debt  securities  tend to
fluctuate more than those of  shorter-term  debt  securities.  That volatility
will affect the Fund's share prices.

      n Commercial  (Privately-Issued)  Mortgage Related Securities.  The Fund
can  invest  in  commercial  mortgage-related  securities  issued  by  private
entities.  Generally these are multi-class  debt or pass-through  certificates
secured by mortgage  loans on commercial  properties.  They are subject to the
credit  risk of the issuer.  These  securities  typically  are  structured  to
provide  protection to investors in senior classes from possible losses on the
underlying  loans.  They do so by having holders of subordinated  classes take
the first loss if there are defaults on the  underlying  loans.  They may also
be  protected  to some  extent  by  guarantees,  reserve  funds or  additional
collateralization mechanisms.

      n  Asset-Backed  Securities.   Asset-backed  securities  are  fractional
interests  in pools of  assets,  typically  accounts  receivable  or  consumer
loans.  They are issued by trusts or  special-purpose  corporations.  They are
similar to  mortgage-backed  securities,  described above, and are backed by a
pool of assets  that  consist of  obligations  of  individual  borrowers.  The
income  from  the pool is  passed  through  to the  holders  of  participation
interest  in the pools.  The pools may offer a credit  enhancement,  such as a
bank letter of credit, to try to reduce the risks that the underlying  debtors
will not pay their obligations when due.

      The value of an  asset-backed  security  is  affected  by changes in the
market's  perception of the asset backing the security,  the  creditworthiness
of the servicing  agent for the loan pool, the originator of the loans, or the
financial institution  providing any credit enhancement,  and is also affected
if any  credit  enhancement  has been  exhausted.  The risks of  investing  in
asset-backed  securities are  ultimately  related to payment of consumer loans
by the individual borrowers.  As a purchaser of an asset-backed  security, the
Fund would  generally have no recourse to the entity that originated the loans
in the event of default by a  borrower.  The  underlying  loans are subject to
prepayments,  which may  shorten the  weighted  average  life of  asset-backed
securities  and may lower their  return,  in the same manner as in the case of
mortgage-backed securities and CMOs, described above.

      n  Participation   Interests.  The  Fund  can  invest  in  participation
interests,  subject  to the  Fund's  limitation  on  investments  in  illiquid
investments.  A  participation  interest  is an  undivided  interest in a loan
made by the issuing  financial  institution in the proportion that the buyer's
participation  interest bears to the total  principal  amount of the loan. Not
more  than 5% of the  Fund's  net  assets  can be  invested  in  participation
interests of the same borrower.  The issuing  financial  institution  may have
no obligation to the Fund other than to pay the Fund the proportionate  amount
of the principal and interest payments it receives.

      Participation    interests    are   primarily    dependent    upon   the
creditworthiness  of the  borrowing  corporation,  which is  obligated to make
payments  of  principal  and  interest  on the  loan.  There is a risk  that a
borrower  may have  difficulty  making  payments.  If a borrower  fails to pay
scheduled  interest  or  principal  payments,  the  Fund  could  experience  a
reduction in its income. The value of that  participation  interest might also
decline,  which could affect the net asset value of the Fund's shares.  If the
issuing  financial  institution  fails to perform  its  obligations  under the
participation  agreement,  the Fund might incur costs and delays in  realizing
payment and suffer a loss of principal and/or interest.

      n  Portfolio  Turnover.  "Portfolio  turnover"  describes  the  rate  at
which the Fund traded its  portfolio  securities  during its last fiscal year.
For  example,  if a fund  sold all of its  securities  during  the  year,  its
portfolio  turnover rate would have been 100%. The Fund's  portfolio  turnover
rate will  fluctuate from year to year, but the Fund does not expect to have a
portfolio turnover rate of more than 100% annually.

      Increased   portfolio  turnover  may  result  in  higher  brokerage  and
transaction  costs for the Fund,  which may  reduce its  overall  performance.
Additionally,   the  realization  of  capital  gains  from  selling  portfolio
securities may result in distributions of taxable  long-term  capital gains to
shareholders,  since  the Fund will  normally  distribute  all of its  capital
gains  realized  each year,  to avoid excise taxes under the Internal  Revenue
Code.

Other  Investment  Techniques and  Strategies.  In seeking its objective,  the
Fund  may  from  time to time  use the  types  of  investment  strategies  and
investments  described  below.  It  is  not  required  to  use  all  of  these
strategies at all times, and at times may not use them.

      n Foreign  Securities.  "Foreign  securities"  include  equity  and debt
securities  issued or  guaranteed  by  companies  organized  under the laws of
countries  other  than  the  United  States  and  debt  securities  issued  or
guaranteed  by  governments  other  than the  U.S.  government  or by  foreign
supra-national  entities,  such as the World  Bank.  Those  securities  may be
traded on foreign  securities  exchanges  or in the  foreign  over-the-counter
markets.   Securities   denominated  in  foreign  currencies  issued  by  U.S.
companies  are also  considered to be "foreign  securities."  The Fund expects
to have  investments  in foreign  securities as part of its normal  investment
strategy.

      Securities  of  foreign   issuers  that  are   represented  by  American
Depository  Receipts  or that are  listed  on a U.S.  securities  exchange  or
traded  in the  U.S.  over-the-counter  markets  are not  considered  "foreign
securities"  for the  purpose of the Fund's  investment  allocations,  because
they  are not  subject  to  many  of the  special  considerations  and  risks,
discussed below, that apply to foreign securities traded and held abroad.

      Investing in foreign  securities offers potential benefits not available
from  investing  solely in  securities of domestic  issuers.  They include the
opportunity  to  invest  in  foreign  issuers  that  appear  to  offer  income
potential,  or in foreign  countries with economic policies or business cycles
different  from  those of the U.S.,  or to reduce  fluctuations  in  portfolio
value by taking advantage of foreign  securities markets that do not move in a
manner parallel to U.S.  markets.  The Fund will hold foreign currency only in
connection with the purchase or sale of foreign securities.

            o Foreign  Debt  Obligations.  The debt  obligations  of a foreign
government and its agencies and  instrumentalities may or may not be supported
by the full  faith and  credit  of the  foreign  government.  The Fund can buy
securities  issued  by  certain   "supra-national"   entities,  which  include
entities   designated  or  supported  by  governments   to  promote   economic
reconstruction  or  development,   international   banking  organizations  and
related  government   agencies.   Examples  are  the  International  Bank  for
Reconstruction  and Development  (commonly called the "World Bank"), the Asian
Development bank and the Inter-American Development Bank.

      The   governmental   members  of  these   supra-national   entities  are
"stockholders" that typically make capital  contributions and may be committed
to make additional capital  contributions if the entity is unable to repay its
borrowings.  A supra-national  entity's lending activities may be limited to a
percentage  of its total  capital,  reserves  and net income.  There can be no
assurance that the constituent  foreign  governments  will continue to be able
or willing to honor their capitalization commitments for those entities.

      The Fund can  invest in U.S.  dollar-denominated  "Brady  Bonds."  These
foreign  debt  obligations  may  be  fixed-rate  par  bonds  or  floating-rate
discount bonds.  They are generally  collateralized in full as to repayment of
principal at maturity by U.S. Treasury  zero-coupon  obligations that have the
same  maturity as the Brady  Bonds.  Brady Bonds can be viewed as having three
or four valuation  components:  (i) the collateralized  repayment of principal
at final  maturity;  (ii) the  collateralized  interest  payments;  (iii)  the
uncollateralized  interest payments;  and (iv) any uncollateralized  repayment
of principal at maturity.  Those  uncollateralized  amounts constitute what is
called the "residual risk."

      If there  is a  default  on  collateralized  Brady  Bonds  resulting  in
acceleration of the payment  obligations of the issuer,  the zero-coupon  U.S.
Treasury  securities  held as collateral for the payment of principal will not
be distributed to investors,  nor will those obligations be sold to distribute
the  proceeds.  The  collateral  will be held by the  collateral  agent to the
scheduled  maturity of the defaulted  Brady Bonds.  The  defaulted  bonds will
continue to remain  outstanding,  and the face amount of the  collateral  will
equal  the  principal  payments  which  would  have then been due on the Brady
Bonds in the normal  course.  Because of the residual  risk of Brady Bonds and
the history of defaults  with respect to  commercial  bank loans by public and
private entities of countries issuing Brady Bonds,  Brady Bonds are considered
speculative investments.

      Because  the  Fund  can  purchase  securities   denominated  in  foreign
currencies,  a change  in the  value of a foreign  currency  against  the U.S.
dollar  could  result  in a  change  in the  amount  of  income  the  Fund has
available  for  distribution.  Because  a  portion  of the  Fund's  investment
income may be  received  in foreign  currencies,  the Fund will be required to
compute  its income in U.S.  dollars for  distribution  to  shareholders,  and
therefore  the Fund will absorb the cost of currency  fluctuations.  After the
Fund has distributed income,  subsequent foreign currency losses may result in
the Fund's having  distributed more income in a particular  fiscal period than
was  available  from  investment  income,  which  could  result in a return of
capital to shareholders.

            o Risks of Foreign  Investing.  Investments in foreign  securities
may  offer  special  opportunities  for  investing  but also  present  special
additional risks and considerations not typically  associated with investments
in domestic securities. Some of these additional risks are:

o      reduction of income by foreign taxes;

o      fluctuation in value of foreign  investments  due to changes in currency
         rates  or  currency  control   regulations  (for  example,   currency
         blockage);

o      transaction charges for currency exchange;
o      lack of public information about foreign issuers;

o      lack of uniform  accounting,  auditing and financial reporting standards
         in foreign  countries  comparable  to those  applicable  to  domestic
         issuers;

o      less volume on foreign exchanges than on U.S. exchanges;
o      greater  volatility  and less  liquidity on foreign  markets than in the

         U.S.;

o      less governmental  regulation of foreign issuers,  securities  exchanges
         and brokers than in the U.S.;

o      greater difficulties in commencing lawsuits;
o      higher brokerage commission rates than in the U.S.;

o      increased  risks of delays in  settlement of portfolio  transactions  or
         loss of certificates for portfolio securities;

o      possibilities   in  some   countries  of   expropriation,   confiscatory
         taxation,  political,  financial  or social  instability  or  adverse
         diplomatic developments; and

o      unfavorable   differences   between   the  U.S.   economy   and  foreign
         economies.

      In  the  past,  U.S.   government   policies  have  discouraged  certain
investments abroad by U.S. investors,  through taxation or other restrictions,
and it is possible that such restrictions could be re-imposed.

            o Special  Risks of  Emerging  Markets.  Emerging  and  developing
markets  abroad may also offer  special  opportunities  for investing but have
greater risks than more developed  foreign  markets,  such as those in Europe,
Canada,  Australia, New Zealand and Japan. There may be even less liquidity in
their  securities   markets,   and  settlements  of  purchases  and  sales  of
securities  may be subject to additional  delays.  They are subject to greater
risks of  limitations  on the  repatriation  of income and profits  because of
currency  restrictions imposed by local governments.  Those countries may also
be subject to the risk of greater  political and economic  instability,  which
can greatly affect the volatility of prices of securities in those  countries.
The Manager will consider  these factors when  evaluating  securities in these
markets,  and the Fund  currently  does not  expect  to  invest a  substantial
portion of its assets in emerging markets.

            o Risks  of  Conversion  to  Euro.  On  January  1,  1999,  eleven
countries in the European Union adopted the euro as their  official  currency.
However,  their current currencies (for example,  the franc, the mark, and the
lira) will also continue in use until January 1, 2002.  After that date, it is
expected  that  only  the  euro  will be used in  those  countries.  A  common
currency  is  expected  to  confer  some   benefits  in  those   markets,   by
consolidating  the  government  debt market for those  countries  and reducing
some  currency  risks and costs.  But the  conversion to the new currency will
affect the Fund  operationally and also has potential risks, some of which are
listed below. Among other things, the conversion will affect:

            o     issuers  in which the Fund  invests,  because  of changes in
      the  competitive  environment  from a consolidated  currency  market and
      greater  operational  costs from  converting to the new  currency.  This

      might depress securities values.

            o     vendors the Fund depends on to carry out its business,  such
      as its  custodian  bank  (which  holds the foreign  securities  the Fund
      buys),  the  Manager  (which must price the Fund's  investments  to deal
      with the  conversion  to the  euro) and  brokers,  foreign  markets  and
      securities  depositories.  If they  are not  prepared,  there  could  be
      delays in settlements and additional costs to the Fund.

            o     exchange  contracts  and  derivatives  that are  outstanding
      during  the   transition  to  the  euro.   The  lack  of  currency  rate
      calculations  between the affected currencies and the need to update the
      Fund's contracts could pose extra costs to the Fund.

      The Manager has upgraded  (at its expense) its computer and  bookkeeping
systems to deal with the  conversion.  The Fund's  custodian  bank has advised
the Manager of its plans to deal with the  conversion,  including  how it will
update  its  record  keeping   systems  and  handle  the   redenomination   of
outstanding  foreign debt. The Fund's portfolio  manager will also monitor the
effects  of the  conversion  on the  issuers  in which the Fund  invests.  The
possible  effect  of  these  factors  on  the  Fund's  investments  cannot  be
determined  with certainty at this time, but they may reduce the value of some
of the Fund's holdings and increase its operational costs.

      n   Zero-Coupon   Securities.   The   Fund  can  buy   zero-coupon   and
delayed-interest  securities,  and "stripped" securities.  Stripped securities
are debt  securities  whose  interest  coupons are separated from the security
and sold  separately.  The  Fund can buy  different  types of  zero-coupon  or
stripped  securities,  including,  among others,  foreign debt  securities and
U.S.  Treasury  notes or bonds  that  have  been  stripped  of their  interest
coupons,   U.S.   Treasury  bills  issued  without   interest   coupons,   and
certificates representing interests in stripped securities.

      Zero-coupon  securities do not make periodic  interest  payments and are
sold at a deep discount from their face value.  The buyer recognizes a rate of
return  determined  by the  gradual  appreciation  of the  security,  which is
redeemed at face value on a specified  maturity  date.  This discount  depends
on the time remaining  until maturity,  as well as prevailing  interest rates,
the  liquidity of the security  and the credit  quality of the issuer.  In the
absence of threats to the issuer's  credit  quality,  the  discount  typically
decreases as the maturity date  approaches.  Some  zero-coupon  securities are
convertible,  in that they are  zero-coupon  securities  until a predetermined
date, at which time they convert to a security with a specified coupon rate.

      Because   zero-coupon   securities   pay  no   interest   and   compound
semi-annually at the rate fixed at the time of their issuance,  their value is
generally more volatile than the value of other debt  securities.  Their value
may fall more dramatically than the value of interest-bearing  securities when
interest  rates  rise.  When  prevailing  interest  rates  fall,   zero-coupon
securities  tend to rise more rapidly in value  because they have a fixed rate
of return.

      The Fund's  investment in  zero-coupon  securities may cause the Fund to
recognize  income and make  distributions  to shareholders  before it receives
any cash payments on the zero-coupon  investment.  To generate cash to satisfy
those  distribution  requirements,   the  Fund  may  have  to  sell  portfolio
securities  that it  otherwise  might  have  continued  to hold or to use cash
flows from other sources such as the sale of Fund shares.

      n  "Stripped"  Mortgage-Related  Securities.  The  Fund  can  invest  in
stripped mortgage-related  securities that are created by segregating the cash
flows from underlying  mortgage loans or mortgage  securities to create two or
more  new  securities.  Each  has a  specified  percentage  of the  underlying
security's  principal  or interest  payments.  These are a form of  derivative
investment.

      Mortgage  securities  may be  partially  stripped  so  that  each  class
receives some  interest and some  principal.  However,  they may be completely
stripped.  In that case all of the interest is  distributed  to holders of one
type of security,  known as an "interest-only"  security, or "I/O," and all of
the principal is distributed to holders of another type of security,  known as
a  "principal-only"  security or "P/O." Strips can be created for pass through
certificates or CMOs.

      The yields to maturity of I/Os and P/Os are very  sensitive to principal
repayments  (including  prepayments)  on  the  underlying  mortgages.  If  the
underlying  mortgages  experience  greater  than  anticipated  prepayments  of
principal,  the Fund might not fully recoup its  investment in an I/O based on
those  assets.  If  underlying  mortgages  experience  less  than  anticipated
prepayments  of  principal,  the yield on the P/Os based on them could decline
substantially.

      |X|  Floating  Rate  and  Variable  Rate   Obligations.   Variable  rate
obligations  may have a demand  feature  that  allows  the Fund to tender  the
obligation  to the issuer or a third party prior to its  maturity.  The tender
may be at par  value  plus  accrued  interest,  according  to the terms of the
obligations.

      The  interest  rate on a floating  rate note is  adjusted  automatically
according to a stated  prevailing  market  rate,  such as a bank's prime rate,
the 91-day U.S.  Treasury Bill rate, or some other standard.  The instrument's
rate is  adjusted  automatically  each  time the base  rate is  adjusted.  The
interest  rate on a variable  rate note is also  based on a stated  prevailing
market rate but is adjusted  automatically at specified intervals.  Generally,
the changes in the interest rate on such securities  reduce the fluctuation in
their market  value.  As interest  rates  decrease or increase,  the potential
for capital  appreciation  or  depreciation  is less than that for  fixed-rate
obligations  of the same  maturity.  The Manager may determine that an unrated
floating rate or variable rate obligation  meets the Fund's quality  standards
by reason of being backed by a letter of credit or guarantee  issued by a bank
that meets those quality standards.

      Floating  rate  and  variable  rate  demand  notes  that  have a  stated
maturity  in excess of one year may have  features  that  permit the holder to
recover  the  principal  amount  of  the  underlying   security  at  specified
intervals not  exceeding  one year and upon no more than 30 days' notice.  The
issuer  of  that  type of  note  normally  has a  corresponding  right  in its
discretion,  after a given period, to prepay the outstanding  principal amount
of the note  plus  accrued  interest.  Generally  the  issuer  must  provide a
specified number of days' notice to the holder.

      Step-coupon bonds have a coupon interest rate that changes  periodically
during the life of the security on  predetermined  dates that are set when the
security is issued.

      n  "When-Issued"  and  "Delayed-Delivery"  Transactions.  The  Fund  may
invest  in  securities  on a  "when-issued"  basis  and may  purchase  or sell
securities on a  "delayed-delivery"  basis.  When-issued and  delayed-delivery
are terms that refer to  securities  whose terms and  indenture  are available
and for  which a market  exists,  but which are not  available  for  immediate
delivery.

      When such  transactions  are  negotiated,  the price (which is generally
expressed  in yield  terms)  is fixed  at the  time  the  commitment  is made.
Delivery  and  payment  for the  securities  take place at a later  date.  The
securities are subject to change in value from market  fluctuations during the
period until  settlement.  The value at delivery may be less than the purchase
price.  For example,  changes in interest rates in a direction other than that
expected  by the  Manager  before  settlement  will  affect  the value of such
securities  and may  cause a loss  to the  Fund.  During  the  period  between
purchase and  settlement,  no payment is made by the Fund to the issuer and no
interest  accrues  to the Fund  from the  investment  until  it  receives  the
security at settlement.

      The Fund may  engage in  when-issued  transactions  to  secure  what the
Manager  considers  to be an  advantageous  price  and  yield  at the time the
obligation  is  entered  into.  When the Fund  enters  into a  when-issued  or
delayed-delivery  transaction,  it relies on the other party to  complete  the
transaction.  Its failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the  opportunity
to obtain  the  security  at a price and yield  the  Manager  considers  to be
advantageous.

      When the Fund engages in when-issued and delayed-delivery  transactions,
it does so for the purpose of acquiring or selling securities  consistent with
its  investment  objective  and policies or for  delivery  pursuant to options
contracts  it has  entered  into,  and  not  for  the  purpose  of  investment
leverage.  Although the Fund will enter into  delayed-delivery  or when-issued
purchase  transactions to acquire  securities,  it may dispose of a commitment
prior to settlement.  If the Fund chooses to dispose of the right to acquire a
when-issued  security  prior to its  acquisition or to dispose of its right to
delivery or receive against a forward commitment, it may incur a gain or loss.

      At the  time  the  Fund  makes  the  commitment  to  purchase  or sell a
security  on  a  when-issued  or   delayed-delivery   basis,  it  records  the
transaction  on its books and reflects the value of the security  purchased in
determining  the Fund's net asset  value.  In a sale  transaction,  it records
the  proceeds  to be  received.  The Fund will  identify  on its books  liquid
assets  at  least  equal  in  value  to  the  value  of  the  Fund's  purchase
commitments until the Fund pays for the investment.

      When-issued and  delayed-delivery  transactions  can be used by the Fund
as a defensive  technique  to hedge  against  anticipated  changes in interest
rates and  prices.  For  instance,  in  periods of rising  interest  rates and
falling  prices,  the Fund might sell securities in its portfolio on a forward
commitment  basis to  attempt to limit its  exposure  to  anticipated  falling
prices.  In periods  of falling  interest  rates and rising  prices,  the Fund
might sell portfolio  securities  and purchase the same or similar  securities
on a when-issued or delayed-delivery  basis to obtain the benefit of currently
higher cash yields.

      n  Repurchase  Agreements.  The Fund can acquire  securities  subject to
repurchase  agreements.  It  might  do  so  for  liquidity  purposes  to  meet
anticipated  redemptions  of Fund  shares,  or pending the  investment  of the
proceeds  from sales of Fund shares,  or pending the  settlement  of portfolio
securities transactions, or for temporary defensive purposes.

      In a  repurchase  transaction,  the  Fund  buys  a  security  from,  and
simultaneously   resells  it  to,  an  approved  vendor  for  delivery  on  an
agreed-upon  future date.  The resale price  exceeds the purchase  price by an
amount that reflects an  agreed-upon  interest  rate  effective for the period
during which the repurchase  agreement is in effect.  Approved vendors include
U.S.  commercial banks, U.S. branches of foreign banks, or broker-dealers that
have been  designated as primary dealers in government  securities.  They must
meet credit  requirements  set by the Fund's  Board of  Trustees  from time to
time.

      The  majority of these  transactions  run from day to day,  and delivery
pursuant  to the  resale  typically  occurs  within  one to  five  days of the
purchase.  Repurchase  agreements  having a  maturity  beyond  seven  days are
subject to the Fund's limits on holding  illiquid  investments.  The Fund will
not enter into a  repurchase  agreement  that  causes more than 10% of its net
assets to be subject to repurchase  agreements  having a maturity beyond seven
days.  There is no limit on the amount of the  Fund's  net assets  that may be
subject to repurchase agreements having maturities of seven days or less.

      Repurchase  agreements,  considered "loans" under the Investment Company
Act, are  collateralized  by the underlying  security.  The Fund's  repurchase
agreements  require  that at all times while the  repurchase  agreement  is in
effect,  the value of the collateral must equal or exceed the repurchase price
to fully collateralize the repayment obligation.  However, if the vendor fails
to pay the resale  price on the  delivery  date,  the Fund may incur  costs in
disposing of the collateral  and may  experience  losses if there is any delay
in  its  ability  to  do  so.  The   Manager   will   monitor   the   vendor's
creditworthiness  to  confirm  that the vendor is  financially  sound and will
continuously monitor the collateral's value.

      n  Illiquid   and   Restricted   Securities.   Under  the  policies  and
procedures   established  by  the  Fund's  Board  of  Trustees,   the  Manager
determines the liquidity of certain of the Fund's  investments.  To enable the
Fund to sell its holdings of a restricted  security not  registered  under the
Securities  Act of 1933,  the Fund may have to cause  those  securities  to be
registered.   The  expenses  of  registering   restricted  securities  may  be
negotiated  by the  Fund  with  the  issuer  at the  time  the  Fund  buys the
securities.  When the Fund must arrange  registration  because the Fund wishes
to sell the security,  a  considerable  period may elapse between the time the
decision is made to sell the security and the time the security is  registered
so that the Fund could sell it. The Fund would bear the risks of any  downward
price fluctuation during that period.

      The  Fund  may  also  acquire  restricted   securities  through  private
placements.  Those  securities have  contractual  restrictions on their public
resale.  Those  restrictions  might limit the Fund's ability to dispose of the
securities and might lower the amount the Fund could realize upon the sale.

      The  Fund  has  limitations   that  apply  to  purchases  of  restricted
securities, as stated in the Prospectus.  Those percentage restrictions do not
limit  purchases  of  restricted  securities  that  are  eligible  for sale to
qualified  institutional  purchasers  under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of
1933,  if those  securities  have been  determined to be liquid by the Manager
under  Board-approved  guidelines.  Those  guidelines  take into  account  the
trading  activity for such securities and the availability of reliable pricing
information,  among other factors.  If there is a lack of trading  interest in
a particular  Rule 144A security,  the Fund's holdings of that security may be
considered to be illiquid.

      Illiquid securities include repurchase  agreements maturing in more than
seven  days and  participation  interests  that do not have  puts  exercisable
within seven days.

      n Forward  Rolls.  The Fund can enter into "forward  roll"  transactions
with respect to mortgage-related  securities. In this type of transaction, the
Fund sells a mortgage-related  security to a buyer and  simultaneously  agrees
to repurchase a similar  security  (the same type of security,  and having the
same coupon and maturity) at a later date at a set price.  The securities that
are  repurchased  will have the same interest rate as the securities  that are
sold, but typically  will be  collateralized  by different  pools of mortgages
(with  different  prepayment  histories)  than the  securities  that have been
sold. Proceeds from the sale are invested in short-term  instruments,  such as
repurchase agreements.  The income from those investments,  plus the fees from
the forward roll  transaction,  are expected to generate income to the Fund in
excess of the yield on the securities that have been sold.

      The Fund will only  enter  into  "covered"  rolls.  To assure its future
payment of the  purchase  price,  the Fund will  identify on its books  liquid
assets in an amount equal to the payment obligation under the roll.

      These  transactions  have risks.  During the period between the sale and
the  repurchase,  the Fund  will  not be  entitled  to  receive  interest  and
principal  payments on the securities that have been sold. It is possible that
the market  value of the  securities  the Fund sells might  decline  below the
price at which the Fund is obligated to repurchase securities.

      n Investments in Equity  Securities.  Under normal market conditions the
Fund can  invest a  portion  of assets in  common  stocks,  preferred  stocks,
warrants  (which  might be  acquired  as part of a "unit" of  securities  that
includes debt  securities)  and  convertible  debt  securities,  which in some
cases are  considered  "equity  equivalents."  However,  it does not currently
anticipate  investing  significant  amounts of its assets in equity securities
as part of its normal  investment  strategy.  Certain equity securities may be
selected because they may provide dividend income.

            o Risks of Investing  in Stocks.  Stocks  fluctuate in price,  and
their  short-term  volatility  at times may be great.  To the extent  that the
Fund invests in equity  securities,  the value of the Fund's portfolio will be
affected  by changes in the stock  markets.  Market risk can affect the Fund's
net asset value per share,  which will  fluctuate  as the values of the Fund's
portfolio  securities  change. The prices of individual stocks do not all move
in the same direction  uniformly or at the same time.  Different stock markets
may behave differently from each other.

      Other  factors  can  affect a  particular  stock's  price,  such as poor
earnings  reports by the issuer,  loss of major  customers,  major  litigation
against the issuer, or changes in government  regulations affecting the issuer
or its  industry.  The Fund can invest in  securities  of large  companies and
mid-size  companies,  but may also buy  stocks of small  companies,  which may
have more volatile stock prices than large companies.

            o Convertible  Securities.  While some convertible  securities are
a form of debt security,  in certain cases their conversion  feature (allowing
conversion into equity  securities)  causes them to be regarded by the Manager
more  as  "equity  equivalents."  As a  result,  the  rating  assigned  to the
security  might have less impact on the  Manager's  investment  decision  with
respect  to  convertible  securities  than  in  the  case  of  non-convertible
fixed-income  securities.  Convertible  debt  securities  are  subject  to the
credit risks and interest rate risks described above in "Debt Securities."

      The value of a  convertible  security is a function  of its  "investment
value"  and its  "conversion  value."  If the  investment  value  exceeds  the
conversion  value,  the security will behave more like a debt security and the
security's  price will likely  increase when interest  rates fall and decrease
when interest  rates rise.  If the  conversion  value  exceeds the  investment
value,  the security will behave more like an equity  security.  In that case,
it will likely sell at a premium over its conversion  value and its price will
tend to fluctuate directly with the price of the underlying security.

      To  determine  whether  convertible  securities  should be  regarded  as
"equity equivalents," the Manager examines the following factors:
(1)   whether, at the option of the investor,  the convertible security can be

         exchanged  for a fixed  number  of  shares  of  common  stock  of the
         issuer,

(2)   whether  the  issuer of the  convertible  securities  has  restated  its
         earnings  per  share  of  common  stock  on  a  fully  diluted  basis
         (considering   the   effect   of   conversion   of  the   convertible
         securities), and

(3)   the extent to which the convertible  security may be a defensive "equity
         substitute,"   providing   the   ability   to   participate   in  any
         appreciation in the price of the issuer's common stock.

o     Preferred  Stocks.  Preferred  stock,  unlike common stock, has a stated
dividend  rate  payable  from  the  corporation's  earnings.  Preferred  stock
dividends  may be  cumulative  or  non-cumulative,  participating,  or auction
rate. "Cumulative" dividend provisions require all or a portion

of prior  unpaid  dividends  to be paid  before  dividends  can be paid on the
issuer's common stock.  Preferred stock may be  "participating"  stock,  which
means that it may be entitled to a dividend  exceeding the stated  dividend in
certain cases.

      If interest rates rise,  the fixed  dividend on preferred  stocks may be
less attractive,  causing the price of preferred stocks to decline.  Preferred
stock  may have  mandatory  sinking  fund  provisions,  as well as  provisions
allowing  calls or redemptions  prior to maturity,  which also have a negative
impact on prices when interest  rates decline.  The rights of preferred  stock
on distribution  of a  corporation's  assets in the event of a liquidation are
generally  subordinate  to the rights  associated  with a  corporation's  debt
securities.  Preferred  stock  generally has a preference over common stock on
the distribution of a corporation's  assets in the event of liquidation of the
corporation.

      n Loans of Portfolio  Securities.  To raise cash for income or liquidity
purposes,  the Fund can lend its portfolio securities to brokers,  dealers and
other  types  of  financial  institutions  approved  by the  Fund's  Board  of
Trustees.  These  loans are  limited  to not more than 25% of the value of the
Fund's total assets.  The Fund currently does not intend to engage in loans of
securities,  but if it does so,  such loans  will not likely  exceed 5% of the
Fund's total assets.

      There are some risks in connection  with  securities  lending.  The Fund
might experience a delay in receiving additional  collateral to secure a loan,
or a delay in recovery of the loaned securities if the borrower defaults.  The
Fund must receive collateral for a loan. Under current  applicable  regulatory
requirements  (which are subject to  change),  on each  business  day the loan
collateral  must be at least equal to the value of the loaned  securities.  It
must  consist  of cash,  bank  letters  of  credit or  securities  of the U.S.
government or its agencies or instrumentalities,  or other cash equivalents in
which  the Fund is  permitted  to  invest.  To be  acceptable  as  collateral,
letters of credit must obligate a bank to pay amounts  demanded by the Fund if
the demand  meets the terms of the  letter.  The terms of the letter of credit
and the issuing bank both must be satisfactory to the Fund.

      When it  lends  securities,  the  Fund  receives  amounts  equal  to the
dividends or interest on loaned  securities.  It also  receives one or more of
(a) negotiated loan fees, (b) interest on securities  used as collateral,  and
(c)  interest  on any  short-term  debt  securities  purchased  with such loan
collateral.  Either type of  interest  may be shared  with the  borrower.  The
Fund may also pay reasonable  finder's,  custodian and administrative  fees in
connection  with  these  loans.  The  terms  of the  Fund's  loans  must  meet
applicable  tests under the Internal  Revenue Code and must permit the Fund to
reacquire  loaned  securities  on five days'  notice or in time to vote on any
important matter.

      |X| Money Market  Instruments.  The following is a brief  description of
the types of the U.S. dollar  denominated money market securities the Fund can
invest  in.  Money  market  securities  are   high-quality,   short-term  debt
instruments that may be issued by the U.S. government,  corporations, banks or
other entities. They may have fixed, variable or floating interest rates.

            |_| U.S. Government  Securities.  These include obligations issued
or   guaranteed   by  the  U.S.   government   or  any  of  its   agencies  or

instrumentalities, described above.

            |_|  Bank   Obligations.   The   Fund   can  buy  time   deposits,
certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances. They must be:

               o obligations   issued  or   guaranteed   by  a  domestic  bank
                 (including a foreign  branch of a domestic bank) having total
                 assets of at least U.S. $1 billion, or

o      obligations  of a foreign  bank with total  assets of at least  U.S.  $1
                  billion.

      "Banks"  include  commercial  banks,  savings banks and savings and loan
associations,  which  may  or may  not  be  members  of  the  Federal  Deposit
Insurance Corporation.

            |_| Commercial  Paper.  The Fund can invest in commercial paper if
it is rated  within the top three rating  categories  of Standard & Poor's and
Moody's or other rating  organizations.  If the paper is not rated,  it may be
purchased if the Manager  determines that it is comparable to rated commercial
paper in the top three rating categories of national rating organizations.

      The Fund can buy commercial  paper,  including  U.S.  dollar-denominated
securities of foreign branches of U.S. banks,  issued by other entities if the
commercial  paper  is  guaranteed  as to  principal  and  interest  by a bank,
government or corporation  whose  certificates of deposit or commercial  paper
may otherwise be purchased by the Fund.

            |_| Variable  Amount Master Demand Notes.  Master demand notes are
corporate  obligations  that permit the investment of  fluctuating  amounts by
the Fund at varying rates of interest  under direct  arrangements  between the
Fund, as lender,  and the  borrower.  They permit daily changes in the amounts
borrowed.  The Fund has the right to increase the amount under the note at any
time up to the full amount provided by the note agreement,  or to decrease the
amount.  The  borrower  may prepay up to the full  amount of the note  without
penalty. These notes may or may not be backed by bank letters of credit.

      Because these notes are direct lending  arrangements  between the lender
and  borrower,  it is not  expected  that there  will be a trading  market for
them.  There  is no  secondary  market  for  these  notes,  although  they are
redeemable (and thus are  immediately  repayable by the borrower) at principal
amount, plus accrued interest, at any time.  Accordingly,  the Fund's right to
redeem  such  notes is  dependent  upon the  ability  of the  borrower  to pay
principal and interest on demand.

      The Fund has no  limitations on the type of issuer from whom these notes
will be  purchased.  However,  in  connection  with such  purchases  and on an
ongoing  basis,  the Manager will  consider the earning  power,  cash flow and
other  liquidity  ratios of the issuer,  and its ability to pay  principal and
interest on demand,  including a situation  in which all holders of such notes
made demand simultaneously.  Investments in master demand notes are subject to
the limitation on investments  by the Fund in illiquid  securities,  described
in the  Prospectus.  Currently,  the Fund does not intend that its investments
in variable amount master demand notes will exceed 5% of its total assets.

      n  Derivatives.   The  Fund  can  invest  in  a  variety  of  derivative
investments  to  seek  income  or  for  hedging   purposes.   Some  derivative
investments  the Fund can use are the hedging  instruments  described below in
this Statement of Additional Information.

      Among  the   derivative   investments   the  Fund  can   invest  in  are
"index-linked" or "currency-linked"  notes. Principal and/or interest payments
on  index-linked  notes  depend on the  performance  of an  underlying  index.
Currency-indexed  securities  are typically  short-term  or  intermediate-term
debt  securities.  Their  value at  maturity  or the  rates at which  they pay
income are  determined by the change in value of the U.S.  dollar  against one
or more foreign  currencies or an index. In some cases,  these  securities may
pay an amount at maturity  based on a multiple  of the amount of the  relative
currency  movements.  This type of index  security  offers the  potential  for
increased  income or  principal  payments but at a greater risk of loss than a
typical debt security of the same maturity and credit quality.

      Other   derivative   investments   the  Fund  can  use   include   "debt
exchangeable   for  common  stock"  of  an  issuer  or   "equity-linked   debt
securities"  of an issuer.  At maturity,  the debt  security is exchanged  for
common  stock of the issuer or it is  payable in an amount  based on the price
of the  issuer's  common  stock at the  time of  maturity.  Both  alternatives
present a risk  that the  amount  payable  at  maturity  will be less than the
principal  amount of the debt because the price of the  issuer's  common stock
might not be as high as the Manager expected.

      n  Hedging.  The Fund can use  hedging  instruments  although  it is not
obligated to use them in seeking its objective.  To attempt to protect against
declines in the market  value of the Fund's  portfolio,  to permit the Fund to
retain  unrealized  gains in the  value of  portfolio  securities  which  have
appreciated,  or to facilitate selling securities for investment reasons,  the
Fund could:

      o  sell futures contracts,
      |_|   buy puts on futures or on securities, or

      o  write  covered  calls on  securities  or futures.  Covered  calls may
         also be used to increase the Fund's income,  but the Manager does not
         expect to engage extensively in that practice.

      The Fund can use  hedging  to  establish  a position  in the  securities
market as a temporary  substitute for  purchasing  particular  securities.  In
that case,  the Fund would  normally seek to purchase the  securities and then
terminate  that hedging  position.  The Fund might also use this type of hedge
to attempt to protect  against the possibility  that its portfolio  securities
would not be fully  included  in a rise in value of the  market.  To do so the
Fund could:

      o  buy futures, or

      o  buy calls on futures or on securities.

      The Fund is not obligated to use hedging instruments,  even though it is
permitted to use them in the Manager's  discretion,  as described  below.  The
Fund's  strategy  of hedging  with  futures  and  options  on futures  will be
incidental  to the  Fund's  activities  in the  underlying  cash  market.  The
particular  hedging  instruments  the Fund can use are  described  below.  The
Fund  may  employ  new  hedging  instruments  and  strategies  when  they  are
developed,  if  those  investment  methods  are  consistent  with  the  Fund's
investment   objective  and  are  permissible  under  applicable   regulations
governing the Fund.


<PAGE>



            o  Futures.  The  Fund  can buy and sell  futures  contracts  that
relate  to (1)  broadly-based  bond  or  other  security  indices  (these  are
referred to as "financial  futures"),  (2) commodities  (these are referred to
as  "commodity  futures"),  (3) debt  securities  (these  are  referred  to as
"interest rate futures"),  and (4) foreign  currencies  (these are referred to
as "forward contracts").

      A  broadly-based  stock  index is used as the  basis for  trading  stock
index  futures.  In some  cases,  these  futures  may be  based on  stocks  of
issuers  in a  particular  industry  or group  of  industries.  A stock  index
assigns relative values to the securities  included in the index and its value
fluctuates in response to the changes in value of the  underlying  securities.
A stock index  cannot be purchased or sold  directly.  Bond index  futures are
similar  contracts  based on the future value of the basket of securities that
comprise the index.  These contracts  obligate the seller to deliver,  and the
purchaser  to  take,  cash to  settle  the  futures  transaction.  There is no
delivery made of the underlying  securities to settle the futures  obligation.
Either party may also settle the  transaction  by entering  into an offsetting
contract.

      An  interest  rate  future  obligates  the  seller to  deliver  (and the
purchaser  to take) cash or a  specified  type of debt  security to settle the
futures  transaction.  Either  party  could  also  enter  into  an  offsetting
contract to close out the position.

      The Fund  can  invest a  portion  of its  assets  in  commodity  futures
contracts.  Commodity  futures may be based upon commodities  within five main
commodity groups: (1) energy,  which includes crude oil, natural gas, gasoline
and  heating  oil;  (2)  livestock,   which  includes  cattle  and  hogs;  (3)
agriculture,  which includes wheat, corn, soybeans,  cotton, coffee, sugar and
cocoa; (4) industrial metals,  which includes aluminum,  copper, lead, nickel,
tin and zinc;  and (5) precious  metals,  which  includes  gold,  platinum and
silver.  The Fund may purchase and sell commodity futures  contracts,  options
on futures  contracts  and  options  and  futures on  commodity  indices  with
respect to these five main  commodity  groups and the  individual  commodities
within each group, as well as other types of commodities.

      No money is paid or  received  by the Fund on the  purchase or sale of a
future.  Upon entering into a futures  transaction,  the Fund will be required
to deposit an initial  margin  payment  with the futures  commission  merchant
(the "futures  broker").  Initial  margin  payments will be deposited with the
Fund's  custodian bank in an account  registered in the futures broker's name.
However,  the  futures  broker  can gain  access to that  account  only  under
specified  conditions.  As the future is marked to market  (that is, its value
on the  Fund's  books is  changed)  to reflect  changes  in its market  value,
subsequent  margin payments,  called variation  margin,  will be paid to or by
the futures broker daily.

      At any time prior to  expiration  of the  future,  the Fund may elect to
close out its position by taking an opposite  position,  at which time a final
determination  of  variation  margin is made and any  additional  cash must be
paid by or  released  to the  Fund.  Any  loss or gain on the  future  is then
realized  by the Fund  for tax  purposes.  All  futures  transactions,  except
forward  contracts,  are effected through a clearinghouse  associated with the
exchange on which the contracts are traded.

                  o Put and Call  Options.  The Fund can buy and sell  certain
kinds of put options  ("puts")  and call options  ("calls").  The Fund can buy
and sell exchange-traded and over-the-counter put and call options,  including
index options, securities options, currency options,  commodities options, and
options on the other types of futures described above.

                        o Writing  Covered  Call  Options.  The Fund can write

(that is, sell)  covered  calls.  If the Fund sells a call option,  it must be
covered.  That means the Fund must own the security  subject to the call while
the call is  outstanding,  or, for calls on futures and indices,  the call may
be  covered by  segregating  liquid  assets to enable the Fund to satisfy  its
obligations  if the call is  exercised.  Up to 50% of the Fund's  total assets
may be subject to calls.

      When  the  Fund  writes  a call  on a  security,  it  receives  cash  (a
premium).  The Fund agrees to sell the underlying security to a purchaser of a
corresponding  call on the same  security  during  the call  period at a fixed
exercise price regardless of market price changes during the call period.  The
call  period is usually  not more than nine  months.  The  exercise  price may
differ  from the market  price of the  underlying  security.  The Fund has the
risk of loss that the price of the underlying  security may decline during the
call  period.  That risk may be offset to some  extent by the premium the Fund
receives.  If the value of the investment  does not rise above the call price,
it is likely that the call will lapse  without being  exercised.  In that case
the Fund would keep the cash premium and the investment.

      When the Fund writes a call on an index,  it receives  cash (a premium).
If the  buyer of the call  exercises  it,  the Fund will pay an amount of cash
equal  to the  difference  between  the  closing  price  of the  call  and the
exercise price,  multiplied by a specified  multiple that determines the total
value  of  the  call  for  each  point  of  difference.  If the  value  of the
underlying  investment  does not rise above the call price,  it is likely that
the call will  lapse  without  being  exercised.  In that case the Fund  would
keep the cash premium.

      The Fund's  custodian  bank, or a securities  depository  acting for the
custodian  bank,  will act as the Fund's escrow agent,  through the facilities
of the Options Clearing  Corporation  ("OCC"),  as to the investments on which
the Fund has  written  calls  traded on  exchanges  or as to other  acceptable
escrow  securities.  In  that  way,  no  margin  will  be  required  for  such
transactions.  OCC  will  release  the  securities  on the  expiration  of the
option or when the Fund enters into a closing transaction.

      When the Fund writes an  over-the-counter  ("OTC") option, it will enter
into an arrangement  with a primary U.S.  government  securities  dealer which
will  establish a formula price at which the Fund will have the absolute right
to repurchase  that OTC option.  The formula price will  generally be based on
a multiple of the premium  received  for the option,  plus the amount by which
the option is exercisable  below the market price of the  underlying  security
(that is, the option is "in the  money").  When the Fund writes an OTC option,
it will  treat  as  illiquid  (for  purposes  of its  restriction  on  holding
illiquid  securities)  the  mark-to-market  value of any OTC  option it holds,
unless the option is subject to a buy-back agreement by the executing broker.

      To  terminate  its  obligation  on a call it has  written,  the Fund may
purchase a corresponding  call in a "closing  purchase  transaction." The Fund
will then  realize a profit or loss,  depending  upon  whether  the net of the
amount of the option  transaction  costs and the premium  received on the call
the Fund  wrote is more or less than the price of the call the Fund  purchases
to  close  out the  transaction.  The Fund may  realize  a profit  if the call
expires unexercised,  because the Fund will retain the underlying security and
the  premium  it  received  when it  wrote  the  call.  Any such  profits  are
considered  short-term  capital gains for federal income tax purposes,  as are
the premiums on lapsed calls.  When  distributed  by the Fund they are taxable
as ordinary income.  If the Fund cannot effect a closing purchase  transaction
due to the lack of a  market,  it will  have to hold the  callable  securities
until the call expires or is exercised.

      The Fund may also write calls on a futures  contract  without owning the
futures contract or securities  deliverable  under the contract.  To do so, at
the time the call is written,  the Fund must cover the call by  identifying on
it  books an  equivalent  dollar  amount  of  liquid  assets.  The  Fund  will
identify  additional liquid assets on its books to cover the call if the value
of the  identified  assets  drops  below  100%  of the  current  value  of the
future.  Because  of this  asset  coverage  requirement,  in no  circumstances
would the Fund's  receipt of an exercise  notice as to that future require the
Fund to deliver a futures  contract.  It would  simply put the Fund in a short
futures position, which is permitted by the Fund's hedging policies.

                        o Writing Put  Options.  The Fund can sell put options

on  securities,  broadly-based  securities  indices,  foreign  currencies  and
futures.  A put option on  securities  gives the  purchaser the right to sell,
and the  writer  the  obligation  to buy,  the  underlying  investment  at the
exercise price during the option  period.  The Fund will not write puts if, as
a result,  more than 50% of the  Fund's  net assets  would be  required  to be
segregated to cover such put options.

      If the Fund  writes a put,  the put must be  covered  by  liquid  assets
identified on the Fund's  books.  The premium the Fund receives from writing a
put  represents a profit,  as long as the price of the  underlying  investment
remains  equal to or above the exercise  price of the put.  However,  the Fund
also assumes the  obligation  during the option  period to buy the  underlying
investment from the buyer of the put at the exercise price,  even if the value
of the investment falls below the exercise price.

      If a put the Fund has written expires  unexercised,  the Fund realizes a
gain in the amount of the premium  less the  transaction  costs  incurred.  If
the put is  exercised,  the Fund must fulfill its  obligation  to purchase the
underlying  investment at the exercise  price.  That price will usually exceed
the market value of the  investment at that time.  In that case,  the Fund may
incur a loss if it sells the  underlying  investment.  That loss will be equal
to the sum of the sale  price of the  underlying  investment  and the  premium
received  minus the sum of the exercise  price and any  transaction  costs the
Fund incurred.

      When  writing a put option on a security,  to secure its  obligation  to
pay for the underlying  security the Fund will deposit in escrow liquid assets
with a value equal to or greater  than the  exercise  price of the  underlying
securities.  The Fund  therefore  forgoes the  opportunity  of  investing  the
segregated assets or writing calls against those assets.

      As long as the Fund's obligation as the put writer continues,  it may be
assigned an exercise  notice by the  broker-dealer  through  which the put was
sold.  That notice will  require the Fund to take  delivery of the  underlying
security  and pay the  exercise  price.  The Fund has no control  over when it
may be required to purchase the underlying security,  since it may be assigned
an exercise  notice at any time prior to the  termination of its obligation as
the writer of the put.  That  obligation  terminates  upon  expiration  of the
put. It may also  terminate  if,  before it receives an exercise  notice,  the
Fund effects a closing  purchase  transaction  by purchasing a put of the same
series as it sold.  Once the Fund has been  assigned  an exercise  notice,  it
cannot effect a closing purchase transaction.

      The Fund may decide to effect a closing purchase  transaction to realize
a profit  on an  outstanding  put  option it has  written  or to  prevent  the
underlying  security from being put. Effecting a closing purchase  transaction
will also permit the Fund to write another put option on the  security,  or to
sell the security and use the  proceeds  from the sale for other  investments.
The Fund will  realize a profit  or loss from a closing  purchase  transaction
depending  on  whether  the cost of the  transaction  is less or more than the
premium  received  from writing the put option.  Any profits from writing puts
are  considered  short-term  capital gains for federal tax purposes,  and when
distributed by the Fund, are taxable as ordinary income.

                        o  Purchasing  Calls and Puts.  The Fund can  purchase

calls on securities,  broadly-based securities indices, foreign currencies and
futures.  It may do so to  protect  against  the  possibility  that the Fund's
portfolio  will  not  participate  in an  anticipated  rise in the  securities
market.  When  the  Fund  buys  a  call  (other  than  in a  closing  purchase
transaction),  it pays a  premium.  The  Fund  then  has the  right to buy the
underlying  investment  from a  seller  of a  corresponding  call on the  same
investment during the call period at a fixed exercise price.

      The Fund  benefits  only if it sells the call at a profit or if,  during
the call period,  the market price of the  underlying  investment is above the
sum of the call price plus the transaction  costs and the premium paid for the
call and the Fund  exercises  the call. If the Fund does not exercise the call
or sell it (whether or not at a profit),  the call will  become  worthless  at
its  expiration  date.  In that case the Fund will have paid the  premium  but
lost the right to purchase the underlying investment.

      The Fund can buy puts on securities,  broadly-based  securities indices,
foreign  currencies  and  futures,  whether  or not  it  owns  the  underlying
investment.  When the Fund  purchases a put, it pays a premium and,  except as
to puts on  indices,  has the  right to sell the  underlying  investment  to a
seller  of a put on a  corresponding  investment  during  the put  period at a
fixed exercise price.

      Buying a put on  securities or futures the Fund owns enables the Fund to
attempt to  protect  itself  during  the put  period  against a decline in the
value of the  underlying  investment  below the exercise  price by selling the
underlying  investment  at the exercise  price to a seller of a  corresponding
put. If the market  price of the  underlying  investment  is equal to or above
the exercise price and, as a result,  the put is not exercised or resold,  the
put will become  worthless at its expiration  date. In that case the Fund will
have paid the  premium but lost the right to sell the  underlying  investment.
However,  the Fund may sell the put prior to its expiration.  That sale may or
may not be at a profit.

      Buying a put on an  investment  the Fund  does not own (such as an index
or future)  permits the Fund either to resell the put or to buy the underlying
investment  and sell it at the  exercise  price.  The  resale  price will vary
inversely to the price of the  underlying  investment.  If the market price of
the underlying  investment is above the exercise  price and, as a result,  the
put is not exercised, the put will become worthless on its expiration date.


<PAGE>


      When the Fund  purchases a call or put on an index or future,  it pays a
premium,  but  settlement is in cash rather than by delivery of the underlying
investment  to the  Fund.  Gain or loss  depends  on  changes  in the index in
question  (and thus on price  movements in the  securities  market  generally)
rather than on price movements in individual securities or futures contracts.

      The Fund may buy a call or put only if,  after the  purchase,  the value
of all call and put options  held by the Fund will not exceed 5% of the Fund's
total assets.

                        o Buying and  Selling  Options on Foreign  Currencies.

The Fund can buy and sell calls and puts on foreign  currencies.  They include
puts and calls that trade on a securities  or  commodities  exchange or in the
over-the-counter  markets  or are quoted by major  recognized  dealers in such
options.  The Fund could use these  calls and puts to try to  protect  against
declines  in the  dollar  value of foreign  securities  and  increases  in the
dollar cost of foreign securities the Fund wants to acquire.

      If the  Manager  anticipates  a rise in the  dollar  value of a  foreign
currency in which  securities  to be acquired are  denominated,  the increased
cost of those  securities  may be  partially  offset  by  purchasing  calls or
writing puts on that foreign  currency.  If the Manager  anticipates a decline
in the dollar value of a foreign currency,  the decline in the dollar value of
portfolio  securities  denominated in that currency might be partially  offset
by writing calls or purchasing  puts on that foreign  currency.  However,  the
currency rates could fluctuate in a direction  adverse to the Fund's position.
The Fund will then have  incurred  option  premium  payments  and  transaction
costs without a corresponding benefit.

      A call the Fund writes on a foreign  currency is  "covered"  if the Fund
owns the underlying  foreign  currency  covered by the call or has an absolute
and immediate right to acquire that foreign currency  without  additional cash
consideration  (or it can do so for additional  cash  consideration  held in a
segregated  account by its  custodian  bank) upon  conversion  or  exchange of
other foreign currency held in its portfolio.

      The Fund  could  write a call on a foreign  currency  to provide a hedge
against a decline in the U.S.  dollar value of a security  which the Fund owns
or has  the  right  to  acquire  and  which  is  denominated  in the  currency
underlying  the  option.  That  decline  might  be one that  occurs  due to an
expected   adverse  change  in  the  exchange   rate.   This  is  known  as  a
"cross-hedging"  strategy. In those circumstances,  the Fund covers the option
by  identifying  liquid  assets  on its  books  having  a value  equal  to its
obligation under the option.

                        o Risks of Hedging with  Options and Futures.  The use

of hedging  instruments  requires  special  skills and knowledge of investment
techniques  that are  different  than what is  required  for normal  portfolio
management.  If the  Manager  uses a hedging  instrument  at the wrong time or
judges  market  conditions  incorrectly,  hedging  strategies  may  reduce the
Fund's  return.  The Fund  could also  experience  losses if the prices of its
futures and options positions were not correlated with its other investments.

      The Fund's option  activities  could affect its portfolio  turnover rate
and  brokerage  commissions.  The exercise of calls  written by the Fund might
cause the Fund to sell  related  portfolio  securities,  thus  increasing  its
turnover rate.  The exercise by the Fund of puts on securities  will cause the
sale of underlying  investments,  increasing portfolio turnover.  Although the
decision  whether to  exercise  a put it holds is within  the Fund's  control,
holding  a put  might  cause  the Fund to sell  the  related  investments  for
reasons that would not exist in the absence of the put.

      The Fund could pay a  brokerage  commission  each time it buys a call or
put,  sells a call  or put,  or buys or  sells  an  underlying  investment  in
connection  with the  exercise of a call or put.  Those  commissions  could be
higher on a relative basis than the commissions for direct  purchases or sales
of the  underlying  investments.  Premiums  paid  for  options  are  small  in
relation to the market value of the underlying investments.  Consequently, put
and call  options  offer large  amounts of leverage.  The leverage  offered by
trading in options  could  result in the  Fund's  net asset  value  being more
sensitive to changes in the value of the underlying investment.

      If a covered  call  written by the Fund is  exercised  on an  investment
that has increased in value,  the Fund will be required to sell the investment
at the  call  price.  It  will  not be  able  to  realize  any  profit  if the
investment has increased in value above the call price.

      An option  position  may be closed  out only on a market  that  provides
secondary  trading for options of the same  series,  and there is no assurance
that a liquid  secondary  market  will exist for any  particular  option.  The
Fund might  experience  losses if it could not close out a position because of
an illiquid market for the future or option.

      There is a risk in using short hedging by selling  futures or purchasing
puts on  broadly-based  indices or  futures  to  attempt  to  protect  against
declines  in the value of the Fund's  portfolio  securities.  The risk is that
the prices of the futures or the applicable  index will correlate  imperfectly
with the  behavior of the cash prices of the Fund's  securities.  For example,
it is possible  that while the Fund has used  hedging  instruments  in a short
hedge,  the market might advance and the value of the  securities  held in the
Fund's  portfolio might decline.  If that occurred,  the Fund would lose money
on the hedging  instruments  and also experience a decline in the value of its
portfolio securities.  However, while this could occur for a very brief period
or to a very small degree,  over time the value of a diversified  portfolio of
securities  will tend to move in the same  direction as the indices upon which
the hedging instruments are based.

      The risk of imperfect  correlation  increases as the  composition of the
Fund's  portfolio  diverges  from the  securities  included in the  applicable
index.  To compensate for the imperfect  correlation of movements in the price
of the  portfolio  securities  being hedged and  movements in the price of the
hedging  instruments,  the Fund  might use  hedging  instruments  in a greater
dollar amount than the dollar amount of portfolio  securities being hedged. It
might  do so if the  historical  volatility  of the  prices  of the  portfolio
securities  being  hedged  is  more  than  the  historical  volatility  of the
applicable index.

      The ordinary  spreads between prices in the cash and futures markets are
subject to  distortions,  due to  differences  in the nature of those markets.
First,  all  participants  in the futures market are subject to margin deposit
and maintenance  requirements.  Rather than meeting  additional margin deposit
requirements,   investors  may  close  futures  contracts  through  offsetting
transactions which could distort the normal relationship  between the cash and
futures  markets.  Second,  the  liquidity  of the futures  market  depends on
participants  entering  into  offsetting  transactions  rather  than making or
taking delivery.  To the extent  participants decide to make or take delivery,
liquidity in the futures market could be reduced,  thus producing  distortion.
Third, from the point of view of speculators,  the deposit requirements in the
futures  market are less onerous than margin  requirements  in the  securities
markets.  Therefore,  increased  participation  by  speculators in the futures
market may cause temporary price distortions.

      The Fund can use  hedging  instruments  to  establish  a position in the
securities  markets as a temporary  substitute  for the purchase of individual
securities  (long  hedging) by buying  futures  and/or calls on such  futures,
broadly-based  indices or on  securities.  It is  possible  that when the Fund
does so the market might  decline.  If the Fund then  concludes  not to invest
in securities  because of concerns  that the market might  decline  further or
for other  reasons,  the Fund will  realize a loss on the hedging  instruments
that is not offset by a reduction in the price of the securities purchased.

                  o  Forward   Contracts.   Forward   contracts   are  foreign
currency  exchange  contracts.  They are used to buy or sell foreign  currency
for  future  delivery  at a fixed  price.  The Fund uses them to "lock in" the
U.S.  dollar price of a security  denominated  in a foreign  currency that the
Fund has bought or sold, or to protect  against  possible  losses from changes
in the relative  values of the U.S.  dollar and a foreign  currency.  The Fund
may  also use  "cross-hedging"  where  the  Fund  hedges  against  changes  in
currencies   other  than  the  currency  in  which  a  security  it  holds  is
denominated.

      Under a forward  contract,  one party  agrees to  purchase,  and another
party agrees to sell, a specific  currency at a future date.  That date may be
any  fixed  number of days from the date of the  contract  agreed  upon by the
parties.  The  transaction  price is set at the time the  contract  is entered
into. These contracts are traded in the inter-bank  market conducted  directly
among currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers.

      The Fund may use forward  contracts to protect  against  uncertainty  in
the level of future  exchange  rates.  The use of forward  contracts  does not
eliminate the risk of fluctuations in the prices of the underlying  securities
the Fund owns or intends to  acquire,  but it does fix a rate of  exchange  in
advance.  Although  forward  contracts  may  reduce  the  risk of loss  from a
decline in the value of the hedged  currency,  at the same time they limit any
potential gain if the value of the hedged currency increases.

      When the Fund  enters  into a  contract  for the  purchase  or sale of a
security denominated in a foreign currency,  or when it anticipates  receiving
dividend  payments in a foreign  currency,  the Fund might desire to "lock-in"
the U.S.  dollar price of the security or the U.S.  dollar  equivalent  of the
dividend  payments.  To do so,  the Fund could  enter into a forward  contract
for the  purchase  or sale of the amount of foreign  currency  involved in the
underlying  transaction,  in a fixed  amount of U.S.  dollars  per unit of the
foreign currency.  This is called a "transaction hedge." The transaction hedge
will  protect the Fund  against a loss from an adverse  change in the currency
exchange  rates  during the period  between the date on which the  security is
purchased or sold or on which the payment is  declared,  and the date on which
the payments are made or received.

      The Fund could also use  forward  contracts  to lock in the U.S.  dollar
value of  portfolio  positions.  This is called a "position  hedge."  When the
Fund  believes  that  foreign  currency  might  suffer a  substantial  decline
against the U.S.  dollar,  it could  enter into a forward  contract to sell an
amount of that foreign currency  approximating the value of some or all of the
Fund's portfolio  securities  denominated in that foreign  currency.  When the
Fund believes that the U.S. dollar might suffer a substantial  decline against
a  foreign  currency,  it could  enter  into a  forward  contract  to buy that
foreign  currency for a fixed  dollar  amount.  Alternatively,  the Fund could
enter into a forward  contract  to sell a  different  foreign  currency  for a
fixed U.S.  dollar amount if the Fund  believes that the U.S.  dollar value of
the foreign  currency to be sold  pursuant to its forward  contract  will fall
whenever there is a decline in the U.S.  dollar value of the currency in which
portfolio  securities  of the Fund are  denominated.  That is referred to as a
"cross hedge."

      The Fund will cover its short  positions  in these cases by  identifying
to its custodian  bank assets having a value equal to the aggregate  amount of
the Fund's  commitment under forward  contracts.  The Fund will not enter into
forward  contracts  or  maintain  a net  exposure  to  such  contracts  if the
consummation  of the contracts would obligate the Fund to deliver an amount of
foreign currency in excess of the value of the Fund's portfolio  securities or
other assets  denominated  in that  currency or another  currency  that is the
subject of the hedge.

      However,  to avoid excess  transactions and transaction  costs, the Fund
may  maintain a net  exposure to forward  contracts  in excess of the value of
the  Fund's  portfolio  securities  or other  assets  denominated  in  foreign
currencies if the excess amount is "covered" by liquid securities  denominated
in any  currency.  The cover must be at least equal at all times to the amount
of that  excess.  As one  alternative,  the Fund may  purchase  a call  option
permitting  the Fund to purchase the amount of foreign  currency  being hedged
by a forward  sale  contract at a price no higher  than the  forward  contract
price. As another  alternative,  the Fund may purchase a put option permitting
the Fund to sell the amount of foreign  currency subject to a forward purchase
contract at a price as high or higher than the forward contact price.

      The precise  matching of the amounts  under  forward  contracts  and the
value of the securities  involved  generally will not be possible  because the
future value of securities  denominated in foreign currencies will change as a
consequence  of market  movements  between  the date the  forward  contract is
entered into and the date it is sold.  In some cases the Manager  might decide
to sell the  security  and deliver  foreign  currency  to settle the  original
purchase  obligation.  If the market  value of the  security  is less than the
amount of foreign  currency the Fund is  obligated to deliver,  the Fund might
have to purchase  additional  foreign  currency on the "spot"  (that is, cash)
market to settle  the  security  trade.  If the market  value of the  security
instead  exceeds  the  amount of foreign  currency  the Fund is  obligated  to
deliver to settle the  trade,  the Fund might have to sell on the spot  market
some of the foreign  currency  received upon the sale of the  security.  There
will be additional transaction costs on the spot market in those cases.

      The  projection of  short-term  currency  market  movements is extremely
difficult,  and the successful  execution of a short-term  hedging strategy is
highly  uncertain.   Forward  contracts  involve  the  risk  that  anticipated
currency  movements  will not be  accurately  predicted,  causing  the Fund to
sustain losses on these  contracts and to pay additional  transactions  costs.
The  use  of  forward  contracts  in  this  manner  might  reduce  the  Fund's
performance  if there  are  unanticipated  changes  in  currency  prices  to a
greater degree than if the Fund had not entered into such contracts.

      At or before the maturity of a forward  contract  requiring  the Fund to
sell a  currency,  the Fund might sell a portfolio  security  and use the sale
proceeds to make delivery of the currency.  In the  alternative the Fund might
retain the  security  and offset its  contractual  obligation  to deliver  the
currency by  purchasing a second  contract.  Under that contract the Fund will
obtain,  on the same maturity date, the same amount of the currency that it is
obligated to deliver.  Similarly,  the Fund might close out a forward contract
requiring  it to  purchase a  specified  currency  by  entering  into a second
contract  entitling  it to sell the same  amount of the same  currency  on the
maturity  date of the first  contract.  The Fund would  realize a gain or loss
as a result of entering into such an offsetting  forward contract under either
circumstance.  The  gain or loss  will  depend  on the  extent  to  which  the
exchange  rate or rates  between the  currencies  involved  moved  between the
execution dates of the first contract and offsetting contract.

      The costs to the Fund of  engaging  in  forward  contracts  varies  with
factors such as the  currencies  involved,  the length of the contract  period
and the market  conditions  then  prevailing.  Because  forward  contracts are
usually  entered into on a principal  basis,  no brokerage fees or commissions
are  involved.  Because  these  contracts  are not traded on an exchange,  the
Fund must evaluate the credit and performance risk of the  counterparty  under
each forward contract.

      Although the Fund values its assets daily in terms of U.S.  dollars,  it
does not intend to  convert  its  holdings  of  foreign  currencies  into U.S.
dollars on a daily basis.  The Fund may convert foreign  currency from time to
time,  and will  incur  costs in doing so.  Foreign  exchange  dealers  do not
charge a fee for  conversion,  but they do seek to  realize a profit  based on
the  difference  between  the  prices  at  which  they  buy and  sell  various
currencies.  Thus,  a dealer  might  offer to sell a foreign  currency  to the
Fund at one  rate,  while  offering  a  lesser  rate of  exchange  if the Fund
desires to resell that currency to the dealer.

                  o Interest Rate Swap  Transactions.  The Fund can enter into
interest rate swap agreements.  In an interest rate swap, the Fund and another
party exchange  their right to receive or their  obligation to pay interest on
a security.  For example,  they might swap the right to receive  floating rate
payments  for fixed  rate  payments.  The Fund can enter  into  swaps  only on
securities  that it owns.  The Fund will not enter into swaps with  respect to
more than 25% of its total  assets.  Also,  the Fund will identify on its book
liquid  assets  (such as cash or U.S.  government  securities)  to  cover  any
amounts it could owe under  swaps that  exceed the  amounts it is  entitled to
receive, and it will adjust that amount daily, as needed.

      Swap  agreements  entail both interest rate risk and credit risk.  There
is a risk that,  based on  movements  of  interest  rates in the  future,  the
payments  made by the Fund under a swap  agreement  will be  greater  than the
payments  it  received.  Credit  risk  arises  from the  possibility  that the
counterparty  will  default.  If the  counterparty  defaults,  the Fund's loss
will consist of the net amount of contractual  interest payments that the Fund
has not yet  received.  The  Manager  will  monitor  the  creditworthiness  of
counterparties  to the Fund's  interest rate swap  transactions  on an ongoing
basis.

      The Fund can enter into swap  transactions  with certain  counterparties
pursuant to master netting  agreements.  A master netting  agreement  provides
that all swaps done between the Fund and that  counterparty  shall be regarded
as parts of an integral  agreement.  If amounts  are  payable on a  particular
date in the same  currency  in respect of one or more swap  transactions,  the
amount  payable  on that date in that  currency  shall be the net  amount.  In
addition,  the master netting agreement may provide that if one party defaults
generally or on one swap,  the  counterparty  may  terminate  all of the swaps
with that party.  Under these  agreements,  if a default  results in a loss to
one party,  the measure of that party's  damages is calculated by reference to
the average cost of a  replacement  swap for each swap.  It is measured by the
mark-to-market  value at the time of the  termination  of each swap. The gains
and losses on all swaps are then netted,  and the result is the counterparty's
gain or loss on  termination.  The termination of all swaps and the netting of
gains and losses on termination is generally referred to as "aggregation."

                  o  Regulatory  Aspects  of Hedging  Instruments.  When using
futures  and  options on  futures,  the Fund is  required  to  operate  within
certain  guidelines  and  restrictions  with  respect to the use of futures as
established by the  Commodities  Futures Trading  Commission (the "CFTC").  In
particular,  the  Fund  is  exempted  from  registration  with  the  CFTC as a
"commodity  pool operator" if the Fund complies with the  requirements of Rule
4.5  adopted  by the  CFTC.  The Rule does not  limit  the  percentage  of the
Fund's  assets  that  may be used  for  futures  margin  and  related  options
premiums for a bona fide hedging position.  However,  under the Rule, the Fund
must limit its aggregate  initial futures margin and related options  premiums
to not more than 5% of the Fund's net assets for hedging  strategies  that are
not considered bona fide hedging  strategies  under the Rule.  Under the Rule,
the Fund must also use short  futures and  options on futures  solely for bona
fide  hedging  purposes  within  the  meaning  and  intent  of the  applicable
provisions of the Commodity Exchange Act.

      Transactions   in  options  by  the  Fund  are  subject  to  limitations
established by the option  exchanges.  The exchanges  limit the maximum number
of  options  that  may be  written  or held by a single  investor  or group of
investors  acting in concert.  Those  limits apply  regardless  of whether the
options were  written or  purchased on the same or different  exchanges or are
held in one or more  accounts or through one or more  different  exchanges  or
through one or more  brokers.  Thus,  the number of options  that the Fund may
write or hold may be  affected by options  written or held by other  entities,
including other  investment  companies having the same adviser as the Fund (or
an adviser that is an affiliate of the Fund's  adviser).  The  exchanges  also
impose  position  limits on futures  transactions.  An exchange  may order the
liquidation  of  positions  found to be in  violation  of those limits and may
impose certain other sanctions.

      Under the Investment  Company Act, when the Fund purchases a future,  it
must  maintain  liquid  assets in an amount  equal to the market  value of the
securities underlying the future, less the margin deposit applicable to it.

                  o  Tax  Aspects  of  Certain  Hedging  Instruments.  Certain
foreign currency  exchange  contracts in which the Fund may invest are treated
as "Section  1256  contracts"  under the Internal  Revenue  Code.  In general,
gains or losses  relating to Section 1256 contracts are  characterized  as 60%
long-term  and  40%  short-term  capital  gains  or  losses  under  the  Code.
However,  foreign currency gains or losses arising from Section 1256 contracts
that are forward  contracts  generally are treated as ordinary income or loss.
In  addition,  Section  1256  contracts  held  by the  Fund at the end of each
taxable  year are  "marked-to-market,"  and  unrealized  gains or  losses  are
treated  as  though  they  were   realized.   These   contracts  also  may  be
marked-to-market  for purposes of  determining  the excise tax  applicable  to
investment   company   distributions   and  for  other  purposes  under  rules
prescribed  pursuant to the Internal  Revenue Code. An election can be made by
the Fund to exempt those transactions from this marked-to-market treatment.


<PAGE>


      Certain   forward   contracts   the  Fund  enters  into  may  result  in
"straddles"  for federal  income tax purposes.  The straddle  rules may affect
the  character  and  timing of gains  (or  losses)  recognized  by the Fund on
straddle  positions.  Generally,  a loss  sustained  on the  disposition  of a
position  making up a  straddle  is allowed  only to the extent  that the loss
exceeds  any  unrecognized  gain in the  offsetting  positions  making  up the
straddle.  Disallowed  loss is  generally  allowed at the point where there is
no unrecognized  gain in the offsetting  positions making up the straddle,  or
the offsetting position is disposed of.

      Under the  Internal  Revenue  Code,  the  following  gains or losses are
treated as ordinary income or loss:
(1)   gains or losses  attributable  to  fluctuations  in exchange  rates that

         occur   between  the  time  the  Fund   accrues   interest  or  other
         receivables or accrues expenses or other  liabilities  denominated in
         a  foreign  currency  and the time the Fund  actually  collects  such
         receivables or pays such liabilities, and

(2)   gains or losses  attributable  to fluctuations in the value of a foreign
         currency   between  the  date  of  acquisition  of  a  debt  security
         denominated  in  a  foreign  currency  or  foreign  currency  forward
         contracts and the date of disposition.

      Currency  gains and losses are offset against market gains and losses on
each  trade  before  determining  a net  "Section  988" gain or loss under the
Internal  Revenue  Code for that trade,  which may  increase  or decrease  the
amount of the Fund's  investment  income  available  for  distribution  to its
shareholders.

            Investment Restrictions

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      n What  Are  "Fundamental  Policies?"  Fundamental  policies  are  those
policies  that the Fund has  adopted  to govern  its  investments  that can be
changed  only by the vote of a  "majority"  of the Fund's  outstanding  voting
securities.  Under the  Investment  Company Act, a "majority"  vote is defined
as the vote of the holders of the lesser of:

      o 67% or more  of the  shares  present  or  represented  by  proxy  at a
      shareholder  meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding
      shares are present or represented by proxy, or
      o  more than 50% of the outstanding shares.

      The Fund's investment  objective is a fundamental policy. Other policies
described in the  Prospectus or this Statement of Additional  Information  are
"fundamental"  only if they  are  identified  as  such.  The  Fund's  Board of
Trustees can change  non-fundamental  policies without  shareholder  approval.
However,  significant  changes to  investment  policies  will be  described in
supplements  or updates to the  Prospectus  or this  Statement  of  Additional
Information,  as appropriate.  The Fund's most significant investment policies
are described in the Prospectus.


<PAGE>


      n Does the Fund Have  Additional  Fundamental  Policies?  The  following
investment restrictions are fundamental policies of the Fund.

      o The  Fund  cannot  buy  securities  issued  or  guaranteed  by any one
issuer if more than 5% of its total assets would be invested in  securities of
that  issuer  or if it would  then own more than 10% of that  issuer's  voting
securities.  That restriction  applies to 75% of the Fund's total assets.  The
limit does not apply to  securities  issued by the U.S.  government  or any of
its agencies or instrumentalities.

      |_| The Fund cannot  concentrate its  investments  (that means it cannot
invest  25% or more of its total  assets)  in any one  industry.  Gas,  water,
electric and telephone  utilities are considered to be separate industries for
this purpose.

      o  The  Fund  cannot  make  loans.  However,  the  Fund  can  invest  in
obligations  that it can buy  consistent  with its  investment  objective  and
policies and can enter into repurchase agreements.  The Fund may also lend its
portfolio securities.

      o The Fund cannot  invest in oil, gas or other mineral  leases,  rights,
royalty contracts or exploration or development programs,  real estate or real
estate  mortgage  loans.  However,  the Fund can purchase and sell  securities
issued or secured by  companies  that  invest in or deal in real estate and by
companies  that are not  principally  engaged  in the  business  of buying and
selling the leases, rights, contracts or programs described above.

      o The Fund cannot  underwrite  securities.  A permitted  exception is in
case it is deemed to be an  underwriter  under the Securities Act of 1933 when
reselling any securities held in its own portfolio.

      o The Fund  cannot  invest in or hold  securities  of any  issuer if, to
the  knowledge  of the Fund or its parent  Trust,  officers  and  Directors or
Trustees of the Fund, its parent Trust or Massachusetts  Mutual Life Insurance
Company  individually  beneficially  own more than 1/2 of 1% of the securities
of that  issuer  and  together  own  more  than 5% of the  securities  of that
issuer.

      o  The  Fund  cannot   mortgage,   pledge  or  hypothecate  its  assets.
However,  to  secure  permitted  borrowings,  the Fund can  pledge  securities
having a market  value (at the time of the  pledge) not  exceeding  15% of the
cost of the Fund's total assets.  This  restriction does not prohibit the Fund
from  permitted  transactions  in options,  futures  contracts  and options on
futures or from entering into reverse  repurchase  agreements  and lending its
portfolio securities.

      o The Fund cannot  make loans to an officer,  trustee or employee of the
Fund's parent Trust or to any officer,  director or employee of  Massachusetts
Mutual Life Insurance Company, or to that company.

o     The  Fund  cannot   borrow  money  or  enter  into  reverse   repurchase
agreements  for  investment  purposes but can borrow money from banks or enter
into reverse  repurchase  agreements as a temporary  measure for extraordinary
or emergency  purposes.  The aggregate  amount of borrowings  and  commitments
under reverse  repurchase  agreements  must not exceed 10% of the market value
of the  Fund's  total  assets  at the time of  borrowing  or  entering  into a
reverse repurchase  agreement.  The Fund cannot purchase additional  portfolio
securities   while  the  aggregate   amount  of  its  borrowings  and  reverse
repurchase  agreement  commitments  exceed  5% of its  net  assets.  Portfolio
lending is not considered to be "borrowing money" under this restriction.

      |_| The  Fund  cannot  issue  "senior  securities,"  but  this  does not
prohibit  certain  investment  activities  for  which  assets  of the Fund are
designated as segregated,  or margin,  collateral or escrow  arrangements  are
established,  to cover the related  obligations.  Examples of those activities
include borrowing money, reverse repurchase  agreements,  delayed-delivery and
when-issued arrangements for portfolio securities transactions,  and contracts
to buy or sell derivatives, hedging instruments, options or futures.

      |_| The Fund cannot make short sales  except for  transactions  referred
to as  "short-sales-against-the-box."  (Because  changes in federal income tax
laws  would  not  enable  the  Fund to defer  realization  of gain or loss for
federal income tax purposes,  these  transactions are not likely to be used by
the Fund).

      For purposes of the Fund's policy not to  concentrate  its  investments,
the Fund has adopted the industry  classifications  set forth in Appendix B to
this Statement of Additional Information. That is not a fundamental policy.

      Unless  the  Prospectus  or this  Statement  of  Additional  Information
states that a percentage  restriction  applies on an ongoing basis, it applies
only at the  time  the  Fund  makes  an  investment.  The  Fund  need not sell
securities  to meet the  percentage  limits  if the  value  of the  investment
increases in proportion to the size of the Fund.

      n  Does   the   Fund   Have   Additional   Restrictions   That  Are  Not
"Fundamental" Policies?

      The Fund has additional  operating  policies that are not "fundamental,"
and  which  can be  changed  by the  Board  of  Trustees  without  shareholder
approval:

o     The Fund cannot  invest in any  company  for the  purpose of  exercising
          control or management of that company.

o     The Fund cannot buy the  securities  of any  company  that has a history
          (including that of any predecessor,  controlling  person,  guarantor
          or  general   partner)  of  less  than  three  years  of  continuous
          operations or relevant  business  experience if that purchase  would
          cause  more than 5% of the  Fund's  assets to be  invested  in those
          types of companies.

How the Fund is Managed

Organization  and  History.  The Fund is a  series  of  Oppenheimer  Integrity
Funds  (referred to as the Fund's parent Trust in this  document).  The Fund's
parent Trust was  established  in 1982 as MassMutual  Liquid Assets Trust,  an
open-end diversified  management  investment company, with an unlimited number
of authorized shares of beneficial  interest.  The Fund was reorganized from a
closed-end investment company called MassMutual Income Investors,  Inc. into a
series of the Trust on April 15, 1988. The Fund and the Trust were  originally
managed  by  Massachusetts   Mutual  Life  Insurance  Company,  the  Manager's
indirect  parent  company.  On March 29, 1991,  the Manager  became the Fund's
investment  advisor,  and the Trust changed its name to Oppenheimer  Integrity
Funds.  The Fund was then called  Oppenheimer  Investment  Grade Bond Fund and
changed its name to Oppenheimer Bond Fund on July 10, 1995.

                          The Fund is  governed  by the Board of  Trustees  of

its parent Trust.  The Board is  responsible  for  protecting the interests of
shareholders   under   Massachusetts   law.  The  Trustees  meet  periodically
throughout the year to oversee the Fund's activities,  review its performance,
and review the actions of the Manager.

      |X|  Classes of Shares.  The Board of  Trustees  has the power,  without
shareholder  approval,  to divide unissued shares of the Fund into two or more
classes.  The Board has done so, and the Fund  currently  has four  classes of
shares:  Class A,  Class B,  Class C and  Class Y. All  classes  invest in the
same investment portfolio.  Each class of shares:
o      has its own dividends and distributions,
o      pays certain expenses which may be different for the different classes,
o      may have a different net asset value,
o      may have  separate  voting  rights on matters in which  interests of one

      class are different from interests of another class, and
o      votes as a class on matters that affect that class alone.

      Shares  are  freely  transferable,  and each share of each class has one
vote at shareholder meetings,  with fractional shares voting proportionally on
matters  submitted  to the  vote  of  shareholders.  Each  share  of the  Fund
represents  an interest in the Fund  proportionately  equal to the interest of
each other share of the same class.

      The Trustees are  authorized  to create new series and classes of shares
of the Trust.  The Trustees may  reclassify  unissued  shares of the Fund into
additional  series or  classes  of  shares.  The  Trustees  also may divide or
combine  the  shares  of a class  into a greater  or  lesser  number of shares
without  changing the  proportionate  beneficial  interest of a shareholder in
the Fund.  Shares  do not have  cumulative  voting  rights  or  preemptive  or
subscription   rights.   Shares  may  be  voted  in  person  or  by  proxy  at
shareholder meetings.

      |X| Meetings of  Shareholders.  As a Massachusetts  business trust,  the
Fund is not  required  to hold,  and does  not  plan to hold,  regular  annual
meetings of  shareholders.  The Fund will hold meetings when required to do so
by the  Investment  Company  Act or other  applicable  law. It will also do so
when a  shareholder  meeting is called by the Trustees or upon proper  request
of the shareholders.

      Shareholders  have the right, upon the declaration in writing or vote of
two-thirds of the outstanding  shares of the Trust,  to remove a Trustee.  The
Trustees  will call a meeting  of  shareholders  to vote on the  removal  of a
Trustee upon the written  request of the record  holders of 10% of the Trust's
outstanding  shares.  If the  Trustees  receive  a  request  from at  least 10
shareholders  stating that they wish to communicate with other shareholders to
request a meeting to remove a Trustee,  the Trustees will then either make the
Fund's   shareholder   list   available  to  the   applicants  or  mail  their
communication  to all  other  shareholders  at the  applicants'  expense.  The
shareholders  making the request must have been  shareholders for at least six
months  and must  hold  shares  of the  Trust  valued  at  $25,000  or more or
constituting  at least 1% of the  Trust's  outstanding  shares,  whichever  is
less.  The Trustees may also take other action as permitted by the  Investment
Company Act.

      |X|  Shareholder  and  Trustee  Liability.  The  Fund's  Declaration  of
Trust contains an express  disclaimer of shareholder or Trustee  liability for
the Trust's or the Fund's  obligations.  It also provides for  indemnification
and  reimbursement  of expenses out of the Fund's property for any shareholder
held  personally  liable for its  obligations.  The  Declaration of Trust also
states  that upon  request,  the Trust  shall  assume the defense of any claim
made against a  shareholder  for any act or  obligation of the Trust and shall
satisfy any judgment on that claim.  Massachusetts  law permits a  shareholder
of a  business  trust  (such as the Trust) to be held  personally  liable as a
"partner"  under  certain  circumstances.   However,  the  risk  that  a  Fund
shareholder  will incur  financial  loss from being held liable as a "partner"
of the Trust is limited to the relatively  remote  circumstances  in which the
Fund or the Trust would be unable to meet its obligations.

      The  Fund's  contractual   arrangements  state  that  any  person  doing
business  with the Fund (and each  shareholder  of the Fund)  agrees under its
Declaration   of  Trust  to  look  solely  to  the  assets  of  the  Fund  for
satisfaction  of any claim or demand that may arise out of any  dealings  with
the Fund.  The Trustees  shall have no personal  liability to any such person,
to the extent permitted by law.

Trustees  and  Officers of the Fund.  The Fund's  Trustees  and  officers  and
their  principal  occupations and business  affiliations  during the past five
years are  listed  below.  Trustees  denoted  with an  asterisk  (*) below are
deemed to be  "interested  persons" of the Fund under the  Investment  Company

1.    For the 1998 calendar year.

      |X| Deferred  Compensation Plan for Trustees.  The Board of Trustees has
adopted a Deferred  Compensation Plan for disinterested  trustees that enables
them to elect to defer  receipt of all or a portion  of the  annual  fees they
are  entitled  to  receive  from the Fund.  Under the plan,  the  compensation
deferred by a Trustee is periodically  adjusted as though an equivalent amount
had been invested in shares of one or more  Oppenheimer  funds selected by the
Trustee.  The amount  paid to the  Trustee  under the plan will be  determined
based upon the performance of the selected funds.

      Deferral of  Trustees'  fees under the plan will not  materially  affect
the Fund's  assets,  liabilities  or net  income per share.  The plan will not
obligate  the  Fund  to  retain  the  services  of any  Trustee  or to pay any
particular  level of compensation to any Trustee.  Pursuant to an Order issued
by the  Securities and Exchange  Commission,  the Fund may invest in the funds
selected by the Trustee  under the plan without  shareholder  approval for the
limited  purpose  of  determining  the  value of the  Trustee's  deferred  fee
account.

      n Major  Shareholders.  As of April 1, 1999,  the only persons who owned
of  record  or were  known by the Fund to own  beneficially  5% or more of any
class of the Fund's outstanding securities were:

      Mass Mutual Life  Insurance  Company,  1295 State  Street,  Springfield,
      Massachusetts  01111-0001  which  owned  2,615,242.011  Class  A  shares
      (approximately  10.79% of the Class A shares then outstanding).  Merrill
      Lynch Pierce  Fenner & Smith Inc.,  4800 Deer Lake Drive East,  Floor 3,
      Jacksonville,  Florida  32246  which  owned  976,522.137  Class B shares
      (approximately   10.92%  of  the  Class  B  shares  then   outstanding),
      602,316.270 Class C shares  (approximately  26.29% of the Class C shares
      then outstanding).

The Manager.  The Manager is wholly-owned by Oppenheimer  Acquisition Corp., a
holding company  controlled by  Massachusetts  Mutual Life Insurance  Company.
The Manager  and the Fund have a Code of Ethics.  It is designed to detect and
prevent improper personal trading by certain  employees,  including  portfolio
managers,  that would compete with or take  advantage of the Fund's  portfolio
transactions.  Compliance  with the Code of Ethics is carefully  monitored and
enforced by the Manager.

    n The  Investment  Advisory  Agreement.  The Manager  provides  investment
advisory  and  management  services to the Fund under an  investment  advisory
agreement  between the Manager and the Fund.  The Manager  selects  securities
for the Fund's  portfolio and handles its day-to-day  business.  The portfolio
managers  of the Fund are  employed by the Manager and are the persons who are
principally   responsible   for  the  day-to-day   management  of  the  Fund's
portfolio.  Other members of the Manager's Fixed-Income Portfolio Team provide
the  portfolio  managers  with  counsel  and  support in  managing  the Fund's
portfolio.

       The  agreement  requires  the Manager,  at its expense,  to provide the
Fund with adequate  office space,  facilities and equipment.  It also requires
the Manager to provide and supervise the activities of all  administrative and
clerical personnel required to provide effective  administration for the Fund.
Those  responsibilities  include the  compilation  and  maintenance of records
with  respect to its  operations,  the  preparation  and  filing of  specified
reports,  and composition of proxy materials and  registration  statements for
continuous public sale of shares of the Fund.

      The advisory  agreement lists examples of expenses paid by the Fund. The
major categories relate to interest,  taxes,  brokerage  commissions,  fees to
certain  Trustees,  legal and audit  expenses,  custodian  and transfer  agent
expenses,  share issuance costs,  certain printing and registration  costs and
non-recurring  expenses,  including litigation costs. The management fees paid
by the Fund to the  Manager  are  calculated  at the  rates  described  in the
Prospectus,  which are applied to the assets of the Fund as a whole.  The fees
are  allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative  proportion  of
the Fund's net assets represented by that class.

      The investment  advisory agreement states that in the absence of willful
misfeasance,  bad faith,  gross negligence in the performance of its duties or
reckless  disregard  of  its  obligations  and  duties  under  the  investment
advisory  agreement,  the Manager is not liable for any loss  resulting from a
good faith  error or  omission  on its part with  respect to any of its duties
under the agreement.

      The agreement  permits the Manager to act as investment  advisor for any
other  person,  firm or  corporation  and to use  the  name  "Oppenheimer"  in
connection with other investment  companies for which it may act as investment
advisor  or  general  distributor.  If the  Manager  shall  no  longer  act as
investment  advisor to the Fund,  the  Manager may  withdraw  the right of the
Fund to use the name "Oppenheimer" as part of its name.

Until March 1991,  Massachusetts  Mutual Life  Insurance  Company was the Fund's
investment  advisor.  The Manager became the Fund's investment advisor March 28,
1991,  and the Manager  engaged  MassMutual as  sub-advisor  from March 28, 1991
until July 10, 1995.

Brokerage Policies of the Fund

Brokerage  Provisions of the Investment Advisory Agreement.  One of the duties
of the  Manager  under the  investment  advisory  agreement  is to arrange the
portfolio   transactions  for  the  Fund.  The  advisory   agreement  contains
provisions  relating to the employment of  broker-dealers to effect the Fund's
portfolio  transactions.  The Manager is authorized by the advisory  agreement
to employ  broker-dealers,  including  "affiliated"  brokers,  as that term is
defined in the Investment  Company Act. The Manager may employ  broker-dealers
that the Manager thinks,  in its best judgment based on all relevant  factors,
will implement the policy of the Fund to obtain,  at reasonable  expense,  the
"best execution" of the Fund's portfolio transactions.  "Best execution" means
prompt and reliable  execution at the most  favorable  price  obtainable.  The
Manager need not seek competitive commission bidding.  However, it is expected
to be aware of the  current  rates of eligible  brokers  and to  minimize  the
commissions  paid to the extent  consistent with the interests and policies of
the Fund as established by its Board of Trustees.

      Under the investment advisory agreement,  the Manager may select brokers
(other than  affiliates) that provide  brokerage and/or research  services for
the Fund and/or the other  accounts  over which the Manager or its  affiliates
have  investment  discretion.  The  commissions  paid to such  brokers  may be
higher than another  qualified  broker would  charge,  if the Manager  makes a
good  faith  determination  that  the  commission  is fair and  reasonable  in
relation  to the  services  provided.  Subject to those  considerations,  as a
factor  in  selecting  brokers  for the  Fund's  portfolio  transactions,  the
Manager  may also  consider  sales of shares of the Fund and other  investment
companies for which the Manager or an affiliate serves as investment adviser.

Brokerage  Practices Followed by the Manager.  The Manager allocates brokerage
for the Fund subject to the  provisions of the investment  advisory  agreement
and the  procedures  and  rules  described  above.  Generally,  the  Manager's
portfolio  traders  allocate  brokerage  based upon  recommendations  from the
Manager's  portfolio  managers.  In certain instances,  portfolio managers may
directly  place trades and allocate  brokerage.  In either case, the Manager's
executive officers supervise the allocation of brokerage.

Transactions in securities other than those for which an exchange is the primary
market are generally done with principals or market makers.  In transactions
on foreign exchanges, the Fund may be required to pay fixed brokerage
commissions and therefore would not have the benefit of negotiated
commissions available in U.S. markets.  Brokerage commissions are paid
primarily for effecting transactions in listed securities or for certain
fixed-income agency transactions in the secondary market. Otherwise brokerage
commissions are paid only if it appears likely that a better price or
execution can be obtained by doing so.  In an option transaction, the Fund
ordinarily uses the same broker for the purchase or sale of the option and
any transaction in the securities to which the option relates.


<PAGE>


Other funds advised by the Manager have investment policies similar to those of
the Fund. Those other funds may purchase or sell the same securities as the
Fund at the same time as the Fund, which could affect the supply and price of
the securities. If two or more funds advised by the Manager purchase the same
security on the same day from the same dealer, the transactions under those
combined orders are averaged as to price and allocated in accordance with the
purchase or sale orders actually placed for each account.

      Most purchases of debt  obligations  are principal  transactions  at net
prices.  Instead of using a broker for those  transactions,  the Fund normally
deals  directly  with the  selling or  purchasing  principal  or market  maker
unless  the  Manager  determines  that a  better  price  or  execution  can be
obtained  by  using  the   services  of  a  broker.   Purchases  of  portfolio
securities  from  underwriters  include a commission or concession paid by the
issuer to the  underwriter.  Purchases  from dealers  include a spread between
the bid and asked prices.  The Fund seeks to obtain prompt  execution of these
orders at the most favorable net price.

      The  investment  advisory  agreement  permits  the  Manager to  allocate
brokerage  for  research  services.   The  research  services  provided  by  a
particular  broker may be useful only to one or more of the advisory  accounts
of the Manager and its affiliates.  The investment  research  received for the
commissions  of those other accounts may be useful both to the Fund and one or
more of the Manager's other accounts.  Investment  research may be supplied to
the Manager by a third party at the instance of a broker  through which trades
are placed.

      Investment   research  services  include  information  and  analysis  on
particular  companies and industries as well as market or economic  trends and
portfolio strategy,  market quotations for portfolio evaluations,  information
systems,  computer  hardware and similar products and services.  If a research
service  also  assists  the  Manager  in  a  non-research  capacity  (such  as
bookkeeping or other  administrative  functions),  then only the percentage or
component   that  provides   assistance  to  the  Manager  in  the  investment
decision-making process may be paid in commission dollars.

      The Board of Trustees  permits the Manager to use stated  commissions on
secondary  fixed-income  agency  trades  to  obtain  research  if  the  broker
represents to the Manager that:  (i) the trade is not from or for the broker's
own  inventory,  (ii) the trade was  executed by the broker on an agency basis
at the  stated  commission,  and (iii) the trade is not a  riskless  principal
transaction.  The Board of Trustees  permits the Manager to use concessions on
fixed-price  offerings to obtain research,  in the same manner as is permitted
for agency transactions.

      The  research  services  provided  by  brokers  broadens  the  scope and
supplements  the research  activities of the Manager.  That research  provides
additional views and comparisons for  consideration,  and helps the Manager to
obtain market  information  for the  valuation of  securities  that are either
held in the  Fund's  portfolio  or are  being  considered  for  purchase.  The
Manager  provides  information  to the  Board  about the  commissions  paid to
brokers furnishing such services,  together with the Manager's  representation
that the amount of such  commissions  was  reasonably  related to the value or
benefit of such services.

Distribution and Service Plans

The  Distributor.  Under its General  Distributor's  Agreement  with the Fund,
the  Distributor  acts as the Fund's  principal  underwriter in the continuous
public  offering  of  the  different  classes  of  shares  of  the  Fund.  The
Distributor  is not  obligated to sell a specific  number of shares.  Expenses
normally attributable to sales are borne by the Distributor.

The  compensation  paid to (or  retained  by) the  Distributor  from the sale of
shares or on the  redemption of shares during the Fund's most recent fiscal year

Distribution  and  Service  Plans.  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.

    Each plan has been approved by a vote of the Board of Trustees,  including
a majority of the Independent Trustees3, cast in person  at a  meeting  called
for the  purpose of voting on that plan.  Each plan has also been  approved by
the holders of a "majority" (as defined in the Investment  Company Act) of the
shares of the applicable  class. The shareholder  votes for the plan for Class
C shares were cast by the Manager as the sole initial  holder of that class of
shares of the Fund.

    Under the plans,  the Manager  and the  Distributor  may make  payments to
affiliates  and, in their sole  discretion,  from time to time,  may use their
own  resources  (at no direct  cost to the Fund) to make  payments to brokers,
dealers or other financial  institutions for  distribution and  administrative
services they  perform.  The Manager may use its profits from the advisory fee
it receives from the Fund. In their sole  discretion,  the Distributor and the
Manager may increase or decrease  the amount of payments  they make from their
own resources to plan recipients.

    Unless a plan is  terminated  as described  below,  the plan  continues in
effect  from year to year but only if the  Fund's  Board of  Trustees  and its
Independent  Trustees  specifically  vote annually to approve its continuance.
Approval must be by a vote cast in person at a meeting  called for the purpose
of voting on continuing  the plan. A plan may be terminated at any time by the
vote of a majority of the  Independent  Trustees or by the vote of the holders
of a "majority" (as defined in the Investment  Company Act) of the outstanding
shares of that class.

    The Board of  Trustees  and the  Independent  Trustees  must  approve  all
material  amendments to a plan. An amendment to increase materially the amount
of payments to be made under a plan must be  approved by  shareholders  of the
class  affected  by  the  amendment.  Because  Class  B  shares  of  the  Fund
automatically  convert  into  Class A shares  after six  years,  the Fund must
obtain the  approval of both Class A and Class B  shareholders  for a proposed
material  amendment  to  the  Class  A Plan  that  would  materially  increase
payments  under the Plan.  That approval  must be by a "majority"  (as defined
in the Investment Company Act) of the shares of each class,  voting separately
by class.

    While the Plans are in effect,  the  Treasurer  of the Fund shall  provide
separate  written  reports  on the  plans to the  Board of  Trustees  at least
quarterly for its review.  The reports shall detail the amount of all payments
made  under a plan and the  purpose  for which the  payments  were  made.  The
reports  on  the  Class  B Plan  and  Class  C Plan  shall  also  include  the
Distributor's  distribution costs for that quarter.  Those reports are subject
to the review and approval of the Independent Trustees.

    Each plan states that while it is in effect,  the selection and nomination
of those Trustees of the Fund who are not "interested  persons" of the Fund is
committed  to the  discretion  of the  Independent  Trustees.  This  does  not
prevent the  involvement of others in the selection and nomination  process as
long as the final  decision as to  selection  or  nomination  is approved by a
majority of the Independent Trustees.

    Under the plan for a class,  no payment  will be made to any  recipient in
any quarter in which the  aggregate net asset value of all Fund shares of that
class held by the  recipient  for itself and its  customers  does not exceed a
minimum  amount,  if any,  that may be set from time to time by a majority  of
the Independent  Trustees.  The Board of Trustees has set no minimum amount of
assets to qualify for payments under the plans.

|X| Class A Service  Plan.  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  (they are  referred  to as  "recipients")  for
personal  services  and account  maintenance  services  they provide for their
customers  who hold  Class A  shares.  The  services  include,  among  others,
answering  customer  inquiries about the Fund,  assisting in establishing  and
maintaining   accounts  in  the  Fund,  making  the  Fund's  investment  plans
available  and  providing  other  services  at the  request of the Fund or the
Distributor.  While the plan  permits the Board to  authorize  payments to the
Distributor  to reimburse  itself for services  under the plan,  the Board has
not yet done so. 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 held in the accounts of the  recipients or their
customers.

    For the fiscal year ended  December 31, 1998,  payments  under the Class A
Plan  totaled  $538,337,   all  of  which  was  paid  by  the  Distributor  to
recipients.   An  affiliate  of  the  Distributor   received   $186,566.   Any
unreimbursed  expenses the  Distributor  incurs with respect to Class A shares
in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent  years.  The  Distributor
may  not  use  payments  received  under  the  Class  A Plan to pay any of its
interest expenses,  carrying charges,  or other financial costs, or allocation
of overhead.

    |X| Class B and Class C Service and  Distribution  Plan.  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
types  of  services  that  recipients  provide  are  similar  to the  services
provided under the Class A service plan, described above.

    The Class B and the Class C plans  permit the  Distributor  to retain both
the  asset-based  sales charges and the service fees or to pay  recipients the
service fee on a quarterly  basis,  without payment in advance.  However,  the
Distributor  currently intends to pay the service fee to recipients in advance
for the first  year  after the  shares  are  purchased.  After the first  year
shares are outstanding,  the Distributor makes service fee payments  quarterly
on those  shares.  The  advance  payment  is based on the net  asset  value of
shares  sold.  Shares  purchased  by  exchange  do not qualify for the advance
service  fee  payment.  If Class B or Class C shares are  redeemed  during the
first year after their  purchase,  the  recipient of the service fees on those
shares will be  obligated to repay the  Distributor  a pro rata portion of the
advance payment of the service fee made on those shares.

    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.  It pays the  asset-based  sales
charge  as  an  ongoing   commission  to  the  recipient  on  Class  C  shares
outstanding  for a year or more. If a dealer has a special  agreement with the
Distributor,  the Distributor  will pay the Class B and/or Class C service fee
and the  asset-based  sales  charge to the dealer  quarterly in lieu of paying
the sales commissions and service fee in advance at the time of purchase.


<PAGE>


    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 Fund pays the
asset-based  sales  charges to the  Distributor  for its services  rendered in
distributing  Class  B and  Class  C  shares.  The  payments  are  made to the
Distributor in recognition that the Distributor:
o      pays sales commissions to authorized  brokers and dealers at the time of

       sale and pays service fees as described above,

o      may  finance  payment of sales  commissions  and/or  the  advance of the
       service fee payment to recipients  under the plans, or may provide such
       financing   from  its  own  resources  or  from  the  resources  of  an
       affiliate,

o      employs  personnel  to  support  distribution  of  Class  B and  Class C
       shares, and

o      bears  the  costs  of sales  literature,  advertising  and  prospectuses
       (other than those  furnished to current  shareholders)  and state "blue
       sky" registration fees and certain other distribution expenses.

    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 from the Fund under the plans.  If
either the Class B or the Class C 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  to  compensate  it for its  expenses  incurred for
distributing  shares before the plan was  terminated.  All payments  under the
Class B and the Class C plans are  subject to the  limitations  imposed by the
Conduct  Rules of the National  Association  of  Securities  Dealers,  Inc. on
payments of asset-based sales charges and service fees.

Performance of the Fund

Explanation  of Performance  Terminology.  The Fund uses a variety of terms to
illustrate  its  performance.   These  terms  include   "standardized  yield,"
"dividend  yield," "average annual total return,"  "cumulative  total return,"
"average  annual  total  return at net asset  value" and "total  return at net
asset value." An  explanation  of how yields and total returns are  calculated
is set forth  below.  The charts below show the Fund's  performance  as of the
Fund's  most  recent  fiscal  year end.  You can  obtain  current  performance
information  by calling  the Fund's  Transfer  Agent at  1-800-525-7048  or by
visiting      the      OppenheimerFunds      Internet      web     site     at
http://www.oppenheimerfunds.com.


<PAGE>


      The Fund's  illustrations of its performance data in advertisements must
comply  with rules of the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  Those rules
describe  the types of  performance  data that may be used and how it is to be
calculated.  In general, any advertisement by the Fund of its performance data
must include the average  annual  total  returns for the  advertised  class of
shares  of the Fund.  Those  returns  must be shown  for the 1- 5 and  10-year
periods  (or the life of the class,  if less)  ending as of the most  recently
ended calendar quarter prior to the publication of the  advertisement  (or its
submission  for  publication).  Certain  types of  yields  may also be  shown,
provided  that they are  accompanied  by  standardized  average  annual  total
returns.

      Use of  standardized  performance  calculations  enables an  investor to
compare the Fund's  performance to the performance of other funds for the same
periods.  However,  a number of factors should be considered  before using the
Fund's   performance   information  as  a  basis  for  comparison  with  other
investments:

      |_| Yields and total returns  measure the  performance of a hypothetical
account in the Fund over various  periods and do not show the  performance  of
each  shareholder's  account.  Your account's  performance  will vary from the
model  performance  data if your dividends are received in cash, or you buy or
sell shares during the period,  or you bought your shares at a different  time
and price than the shares used in the model.

      o The Fund's  performance  returns do not reflect the effect of taxes on
dividends and capital gains distributions.

      |_| An  investment  in the Fund is not  insured by the FDIC or any other
government agency.

      |_| The principal  value of the Fund's shares,  and its yields and total
returns are not guaranteed and normally will fluctuate on a daily basis.

      |_| When an investor's  shares are  redeemed,  they may be worth more or
less than their original cost.

      |_|  Yields  and total  returns  for any  given  past  period  represent
historical performance  information and are not, and should not be considered,
a prediction of future yields or returns.

      The  performance  of each class of shares is shown  separately,  because
the  performance  of each class of shares will usually be  different.  That is
because of the different  kinds of expenses  each class bears.  The yields and
total  returns  of each  class of  shares of the Fund are  affected  by market
conditions,  the  quality of the Fund's  investments,  the  maturity  of those
investments,  the  types of  investments  the Fund  holds,  and its  operating
expenses that are allocated to the particular class.

      |X| Yields.  The Fund uses a variety of different  yields to  illustrate
its current  returns.  Each class of shares  calculates  its yield  separately
because of the different expenses that affect each class.

            |_|  Standardized  Yield.  The  "standardized   yield"  (sometimes
referred  to just as  "yield")  is shown  for a class of  shares  for a stated
30-day  period.  It is not based on actual  distributions  paid by the Fund to
shareholders in the 30-day period,  but is a hypothetical yield based upon the
net investment  income from the Fund's portfolio  investments for that period.
It may  therefore  differ  from the  "dividend  yield"  for the same  class of
shares, described below.


<PAGE>


      Standardized  yield is calculated using the following  formula set forth
in rules  adopted by the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission,  designed  to
assure uniformity in the way that all funds calculate their yields:

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                               [OBJECT OMITTED]

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The symbols above represent the following factors:

      a =  dividends and interest earned during the 30-day period.

      b =  expenses accrued for the period (net of any expense assumptions).

      c =  the  average  daily  number  of shares  of that  class  outstanding
           during the 30-day period that were entitled to receive dividends.

      d =  the maximum  offering price per share of that class on the last day
           of the period, adjusted for undistributed net investment income.

      The  standardized  yield for a particular  30-day period may differ from
the yield for other  periods.  The SEC formula  assumes that the  standardized
yield for a 30-day  period  occurs at a constant  rate for a six-month  period
and is annualized at the end of the six-month  period.  Additionally,  because
each class of shares is subject to different  expenses,  it is likely that the
standardized  yields of the  Fund's  classes  of shares  will  differ  for any
30-day period.

            |_|  Dividend  Yield.  The Fund may quote a  "dividend  yield" for
each class of its shares.  Dividend  yield is based on the dividends paid on a
class of shares  during the actual  dividend  period.  To  calculate  dividend
yield,  the  dividends of a class  declared  during a stated  period are added
together,  and  the sum is  multiplied  by 12 (to  annualize  the  yield)  and
divided  by the  maximum  offering  price  on  the  last  day of the  dividend
period.  The formula is shown below:

  Dividend Yield = dividends paid x 12/maximum offering price (payment date)

      The  maximum  offering  price for Class A shares  includes  the  current
maximum  initial  sales  charge.  The maximum  offering  price for Class B and
Class C shares  is the net asset  value per  share,  without  considering  the
effect of contingent  deferred sales  charges.  The Class A dividend yield may
also be quoted without deducting the maximum initial sales charge.

      |X|  Total  Return  Information.  There  are  different  types of "total
returns"  to measure  the Fund's  performance.  Total  return is the change in
value of a hypothetical  investment in the Fund over a given period,  assuming
that  all  dividends  and  capital  gains   distributions  are  reinvested  in
additional  shares  and  that the  investment  is  redeemed  at the end of the
period.  Because of  differences  in  expenses  for each class of shares,  the
total returns for each class are separately  measured.  The  cumulative  total
return  measures the change in value over the entire period (for example,  ten
years).  An average  annual  total return shows the average rate of return for
each year in a period that would produce the cumulative  total return over the
entire  period.  However,  average  annual  total  returns do not show  actual
year-by-year  performance.  The Fund uses  standardized  calculations  for its
total returns as prescribed by the SEC. The methodology is discussed below.

      In  calculating  total returns for Class A shares,  the current  maximum
sales  charge of 4.75% (as a  percentage  of the  offering  price) is deducted
from the initial  investment  ("P")  (unless the return is shown without sales
charge,  as described  below).  For Class B shares,  payment of the applicable
contingent  deferred  sales  charge is  applied,  depending  on the period for
which the return is shown:  5.0% in the first year,  4.0% in the second  year,
3.0% in the third and fourth years,  2.0% in the fifth year, 1.0% in the sixth
year and none  thereafter.  For Class C  shares,  the 1%  contingent  deferred
sales charge is deducted for returns for the 1-year period.  There is no sales
charge for Class Y shares.

            |_|  Average  Annual  Total  Return.  The  "average  annual  total
return" of each class is an average annual  compounded rate of return for each
year in a  specified  number of years.  It is the rate of return  based on the
change in value of a  hypothetical  initial  investment  of $1,000 ("P" in the
formula  below) held for a number of years ("n" in the  formula) to achieve an
Ending  Redeemable Value ("ERV" in the formula) of that investment,  according
to the following formula:

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                               [OBJECT OMITTED]

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

            o  Cumulative   Total  Return.   The  "cumulative   total  return"
calculation  measures  the  change in value of a  hypothetical  investment  of
$1,000 over an entire period of years.  Its calculation  uses some of the same
factors as average  annual total  return,  but it does not average the rate of
return on an annual basis.  Cumulative total return is determined as follows:

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                               [OBJECT OMITTED]

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

            |_|  Total  Returns  at Net  Asset  Value.  From  time to time the
Fund may also quote a  cumulative  or an average  annual  total return "at net
asset value"  (without  deducting sales charges) for Class A, Class B or Class
C shares.  Each is based on the  difference  in net  asset  value per share at
the beginning and the end of the period for a hypothetical  investment in that
class of shares (without  considering  front-end or contingent  deferred sales
charges) and takes into consideration the
reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions.

Other Performance  Comparisons.  The Fund compares its performance annually to
that of an  appropriate  broadly-based  market  index in its Annual  Report to
shareholders.  You can obtain that  information  by  contacting  the  Transfer
Agent  at the  addresses  or  telephone  numbers  shown  on the  cover of this
Statement  of   Additional   Information.   The  Fund  may  also  compare  its
performance to that of other  investments,  including  other mutual funds,  or
use rankings of its performance by independent  ranking entities.  Examples of
these performance comparisons are set forth below.

      |X|  Lipper  Rankings.  From  time to time  the  Fund  may  publish  the
ranking  of the  performance  of its  classes  of shares by Lipper  Analytical
Services,   Inc.  Lipper  is  a  widely-recognized   independent  mutual  fund
monitoring  service.  Lipper monitors the performance of regulated  investment
companies,  including  the  Fund,  and ranks  their  performance  for  various
periods  based  on  categories  relating  to  investment  objectives.   Lipper
currently  ranks the  Fund's  performance  against  all other  corporate  debt
(A-rated)  fixed-income  funds. The Lipper  performance  rankings are based on
total returns that include the reinvestment of capital gain  distributions and
income  dividends but do not take sales  charges or taxes into  consideration.
Lipper also publishes  "peer-group"  indices of the  performance of all mutual
funds in a category  that it monitors and averages of the  performance  of the
funds in particular categories.

      |X|  Morningstar  Ratings and  Rankings.  From time to time the Fund may
publish the star ranking and/or star rating of the  performance of its classes
of  shares  by  Morningstar,  Inc.,  an  independent  mutual  fund  monitoring
service.  Morningstar  rates  and  ranks  mutual  funds  in  broad  investment
categories:  domestic  stock funds,  international  stock funds,  taxable bond
funds and  municipal  bond funds.  The Fund is  included  in the taxable  bond
funds category.

      Morningstar  proprietary star ratings reflect  historical  risk-adjusted
total  investment  return.  Investment  return  measures a Fund's (or class's)
one-,  three-,  five- and ten-year average annual total returns  (depending on
the  inception  of the fund or class) in excess of 90-day U.S.  Treasury  bill
returns  after  considering  the Fund's sales  charges and  expenses.  Risk is
measured by a Fund's (or class's)  performance below 90-day U.S. Treasury bill
returns.  Risk and  investment  return are  combined to produce  star  ratings
reflecting  performance  relative to the other  funds in the Fund's  category.
Five stars is the  "highest"  ranking (top 10% of funds in a  category),  four
stars is "above  average" (next 22.5%),  three stars is "average"  (next 35%),
two stars is "below  average"  (next  22.5%) and one star is "lowest"  (bottom
10%).  The current  star  rating is the Fund's (or  class's)  overall  rating,
which is the  Fund's  3-year  rating  or its  combined  3- and  5-year  rating
(weighted  60%/40%  respectively),  or its combined 3-, 5-, and 10-year rating
(weighted 40%, 30% and 30%, respectively),  depending on the inception date of
the fund (or class). Rankings are subject to change monthly.

      The Fund may also  compare  its total  return  ranking  to that of other
funds in its  Morningstar  category,  in addition to its star  ratings.  Those
total return rankings are percentages  from one percent to one hundred percent
and are not risk-adjusted.  For example,  if a fund is in the 94th percentile,
that means that 94% of the funds in the same  category  performed  better than
it did.

      |X|   Performance   Rankings  and  Comparisons  by  Other  Entities  and
Publications.  From time to time the Fund may  include  in its  advertisements
and  sales  literature  performance   information  about  the  Fund  cited  in
newspapers and other  periodicals  such as The New York Times, The Wall Street
Journal,  Barron's,  or similar  publications.  That  information  may include
performance  quotations from other sources,  including Lipper and Morningstar.
The   performance  of  the  Fund's  classes  of  shares  may  be  compared  in
publications   to  the   performance   of  various  market  indices  or  other
investments,  and averages,  performance rankings or other benchmarks prepared
by recognized mutual fund statistical services.

      Investors  may also wish to compare  the  returns  on the  Fund's  share
classes to the return on  fixed-income  investments  available  from banks and
thrift  institutions.   Those  include   certificates  of  deposit,   ordinary
interest-paying  checking  and savings  accounts,  and other forms of fixed or
variable time deposits,  and various other instruments such as Treasury bills.
However,  the Fund's  returns and share price are not guaranteed or insured by
the FDIC or any other agency and will fluctuate  daily,  while bank depository
obligations  may be insured by the FDIC and may provide fixed rates of return.
Repayment  of  principal  and payment of interest  on Treasury  securities  is
backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

      From time to time,  the Fund may  publish  rankings  or  ratings  of the
Manager or Transfer Agent,  and of the investor  services  provided by them to
shareholders of the Oppenheimer funds, other than performance  rankings of the
Oppenheimer  funds  themselves.  Those ratings or rankings of shareholder  and
investor  services by third parties may include  comparisons of their services
to those  provided  by other  mutual fund  families  selected by the rating or
ranking  services.  They  may be based  upon the  opinions  of the  rating  or
ranking service itself, using its research or judgment,  or based upon surveys
of investors, brokers, shareholders or others.

            How to Buy Shares

      Additional  information is presented below about the methods that can be
used to buy shares of the Fund.  Appendix C contains  more  information  about
the  special  sales  charge   arrangements   offered  by  the  Fund,  and  the
circumstances  in which  sales  charges  may be reduced or waived for  certain
classes of investors.

AccountLink.  When shares are  purchased  through  AccountLink,  each purchase
must be at least $25.  Shares will be  purchased  on the regular  business day
the  Distributor is instructed to initiate the Automated  Clearing House (ACH)
transfer  to buy  the  shares.  Dividends  will  begin  to  accrue  on  shares
purchased  with the  proceeds of ACH  transfers  on the  business day the Fund
receives  Federal  Funds for the  purchase  through the ACH system  before the
close of The New York Stock  Exchange.  The Exchange  normally  closes at 4:00
P.M.,  but may close  earlier on certain  days.  If Federal Funds are received
on a  business  day  after  the  close of the  Exchange,  the  shares  will be
purchased  and  dividends  will begin to accrue on the next  regular  business
day. The proceeds of ACH  transfers  are normally  received by the Fund 3 days
after  the  transfers  are  initiated.  The  Distributor  and the Fund are not
responsible for any delays in purchasing  shares  resulting from delays in ACH
transmissions.

Reduced  Sales  Charges.  As  discussed  in the  Prospectus,  a reduced  sales
charge rate may be  obtained  for Class A shares  under Right of  Accumulation
and Letters of Intent  because of the economies of sales efforts and reduction
in expenses  realized  by the  Distributor,  dealers  and brokers  making such
sales.  No sales charge is imposed in certain  other  circumstances  described
in  Appendix  C to  this  Statement  of  Additional  Information  because  the
Distributor or dealer or broker incurs little or no selling expenses.

      n Right of  Accumulation.  To qualify for the lower sales  charge  rates
that apply to larger purchases of Class A shares,  you and your spouse can add
together:

          o Class A and  Class B  shares  you  purchase  for  your  individual
            accounts,  or for your joint  accounts,  or for trust or custodial
            accounts on behalf of your children who are minors, and

         o  current  purchases  of Class A and  Class B shares of the Fund and
            other  Oppenheimer  funds to  reduce  the sales  charge  rate that
            applies to current purchases of Class A shares, and

         o  Class A and Class B shares  of  Oppenheimer  funds you  previously
            purchased  subject  to an  initial or  contingent  deferred  sales
            charge to reduce the sales  charge rate for current  purchases  of
            Class A shares,  provided  that you still hold your  investment in
            one of the Oppenheimer funds.

      A fiduciary can count all shares purchased for a trust,  estate or other
fiduciary  account  (including one or more employee  benefit plans of the same
employer) that has multiple  accounts.  The Distributor will add the value, at
current  offering price, of the shares you previously  purchased and currently
own to the value of current  purchases to determine the sales charge rate that
applies.  The reduced sales charge will apply only to current  purchases.  You
must request it when you buy shares.

n     The  Oppenheimer  Funds.  The  Oppenheimer  funds are those mutual funds
for which the Distributor acts as the distributor or the  sub-distributor  and
currently include the following:

Oppenheimer Bond Fund                     Oppenheimer Large Cap Growth Fund

Fund                                      Rochester Fund Municipals

and the following money market funds:

Centennial America Fund, L. P.            Centennial New York Tax Exempt Trust
Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust    Centennial Tax Exempt Trust
Centennial Government Trust               Oppenheimer Cash Reserves
Centennial Money Market Trust             Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc.

      There is an initial  sales  charge on the  purchase of Class A shares of
each of the  Oppenheimer  funds except the money market  funds.  Under certain
circumstances   described  in  this   Statement  of  Additional   Information,
redemption  proceeds of certain  money  market fund shares may be subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge.

      |X|  Letters  of  Intent.  Under a Letter  of  Intent,  if you  purchase
Class  A  shares  or  Class  A and  Class  B  shares  of the  Fund  and  other
Oppenheimer  funds during a 13-month  period,  you can reduce the sales charge
rate that  applies to your  purchases  of Class A shares.  The total amount of
your intended  purchases of both Class A and Class B shares will determine the
reduced  sales  charge  rate for the  Class A  shares  purchased  during  that
period.  You can include  purchases  made up to 90 days before the date of the
Letter.

      A  Letter  of  Intent  is an  investor's  statement  in  writing  to the
Distributor  of the intention to purchase  Class A shares or Class A and Class
B shares of the Fund (and other  Oppenheimer  funds) during a 13-month  period
(the "Letter of Intent period").  At the investor's request,  this may include
purchases  made up to 90 days  prior to the  date of the  Letter.  The  Letter
states the investor's  intention to make the aggregate  amount of purchases of
shares which, when added to the investor's  holdings of shares of those funds,
will equal or exceed the amount  specified  in the Letter.  Purchases  made by
reinvestment  of dividends or  distributions  of capital  gains and  purchases
made at net asset value  without  sales charge do not count toward  satisfying
the amount of the Letter.

      A Letter  enables  an  investor  to count the Class A and Class B shares
purchased  under  the  Letter to  obtain  the  reduced  sales  charge  rate on
purchases  of Class A shares of the Fund (and other  Oppenheimer  funds)  that
applies  under the  Right of  Accumulation  to  current  purchases  of Class A
shares.  Each  purchase of Class A shares under the Letter will be made at the
offering price  (including the sales charge) that applies to a single lump-sum
purchase of shares in the amount intended to be purchased under the Letter.

      In  submitting a Letter,  the investor  makes no  commitment to purchase
shares.  However,  if the investor's  purchases of shares within the Letter of
Intent period,  when added to the value (at offering  price) of the investor's
holdings of shares on the last day of that period,  do not equal or exceed the
intended purchase amount,  the investor agrees to pay the additional amount of
sales charge applicable to such purchases.  That amount is described in "Terms
of Escrow," below (those terms may be amended by the Distributor  from time to
time).  The  investor  agrees that shares equal in value to 5% of the intended
purchase  amount will be held in escrow by the Transfer  Agent  subject to the
Terms of Escrow.  Also,  the  investor  agrees to be bound by the terms of the
Prospectus,  this Statement of Additional Information and the Application used
for a Letter of Intent.  If those terms are amended,  as they may be from time
to time by the Fund, the investor  agrees to be bound by the amended terms and
that those amendments will apply automatically to existing Letters of Intent.

      If the total eligible  purchases made during the Letter of Intent period
do  not  equal  or  exceed  the  intended  purchase  amount,  the  commissions
previously  paid to the  dealer of record  for the  account  and the amount of
sales  charge  retained  by the  Distributor  will be  adjusted  to the  rates
applicable to actual total purchases.  If total eligible  purchases during the
Letter of Intent  period  exceed the intended  purchase  amount and exceed the
amount  needed to qualify for the next sales charge rate  reduction  set forth
in the Prospectus,  the sales charges paid will be adjusted to the lower rate.
That  adjustment  will be made  only if and when  the  dealer  returns  to the
Distributor  the  excess of the amount of  commissions  allowed or paid to the
dealer  over the amount of  commissions  that  apply to the  actual  amount of
purchases.  The excess  commissions  returned to the Distributor  will be used
to  purchase  additional  shares for the  investor's  account at the net asset
value per share in effect  on the date of such  purchase,  promptly  after the
Distributor's receipt thereof.

      The  Transfer  Agent  will not hold  shares in escrow for  purchases  of
shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds by  OppenheimerFunds  prototype
401(k) plans under a Letter of Intent.  If the intended  purchase amount under
a Letter of Intent entered into by an  OppenheimerFunds  prototype 401(k) plan
is not purchased by the plan by the end of the Letter of Intent period,  there
will be no adjustment of commissions  paid to the  broker-dealer  or financial
institution of record for accounts held in the name of that plan.

      In  determining  the total  amount  of  purchases  made  under a Letter,
shares  redeemed by the  investor  prior to the  termination  of the Letter of
Intent  period will be  deducted.  It is the  responsibility  of the dealer of
record  and/or  the  investor  to advise the  Distributor  about the Letter in
placing  any  purchase  orders  for the  investor  during the Letter of Intent
period.  All of such purchases must be made through the Distributor.

      o Terms of Escrow That Apply to Letters of Intent.

      1.  Out of the initial  purchase (or subsequent  purchases if necessary)
made  pursuant to a Letter,  shares of the Fund equal in value up to 5% of the
intended  purchase  amount  specified in the Letter shall be held in escrow by
the Transfer Agent. For example,  if the intended  purchase amount is $50,000,
the escrow  shall be shares  valued in the amount of $2,500  (computed  at the
offering  price  adjusted for a $50,000  purchase).  Any dividends and capital
gains  distributions on the escrowed shares will be credited to the investor's
account.

      2.  If the  total  minimum  investment  specified  under  the  Letter is
completed  within the  thirteen-month  Letter of Intent  period,  the escrowed
shares will be promptly released to the investor.

      3.  If, at the end of the  thirteen-month  Letter of Intent  period  the
total  purchases  pursuant to the Letter are less than the  intended  purchase
amount specified in the Letter,  the investor must remit to the Distributor an
amount  equal to the  difference  between the dollar  amount of sales  charges
actually  paid and the amount of sales  charges  which would have been paid if
the total amount  purchased had been made at a single time.  That sales charge
adjustment  will apply to any shares  redeemed  prior to the completion of the
Letter.  If the  difference  in sales  charges is not paid within  twenty days
after a request from the  Distributor  or the dealer,  the  Distributor  will,
within  sixty  days of the  expiration  of the  Letter,  redeem  the number of
escrowed shares  necessary to realize such  difference in sales charges.  Full
and fractional  shares  remaining  after such redemption will be released from
escrow.  If a request  is  received  to redeem  escrowed  shares  prior to the
payment of such  additional  sales  charge,  the sales charge will be withheld
from the redemption proceeds.

      4.  By signing the Letter,  the  investor  irrevocably  constitutes  and
appoints the Transfer  Agent as  attorney-in-fact  to surrender for redemption
any or all escrowed shares.

5.    The shares  eligible  for  purchase  under the Letter (or the holding of
which may be counted toward completion of a Letter) include:
(a)   Class A shares sold with a front-end  sales charge or subject to a Class

             A contingent deferred sales charge,

(b)   Class  B  shares  of  other  Oppenheimer  funds  acquired  subject  to a
             contingent deferred sales charge, and

(c)   Class A or Class B shares  acquired  by  exchange  of either (1) Class A
             shares of one of the other  Oppenheimer  funds that were acquired
             subject to a Class A initial or contingent  deferred sales charge
             or (2) Class B shares of one of the other  Oppenheimer funds that
             were acquired subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.


<PAGE>


      6.  Shares held in escrow hereunder will  automatically be exchanged for
shares of another fund to which an exchange is requested,  as described in the
section of the  Prospectus  entitled  "How to Exchange  Shares" and the escrow
will be transferred to that other fund.

Asset  Builder  Plans.  To  establish  an  Asset  Builder  Plan to buy  shares
directly from a bank account,  you must enclose a check  (minimum $25) for the
initial  purchase  with your  application.  Shares  purchased by Asset Builder
Plan payments from bank  accounts are subject to the  redemption  restrictions
for recent  purchases  described in the  Prospectus.  Asset Builder Plans also
enable  shareholders of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves to use their fund account to
make monthly  automatic  purchases  of shares of up to four other  Oppenheimer
funds.

      If you make  payments  from your bank account to purchase  shares of the
Fund, your bank account will be automatically  debited,  normally four to five
business  days prior to the  investment  dates  selected  in the  Application.
Neither the Distributor,  the Transfer Agent nor the Fund shall be responsible
for  any  delays  in   purchasing   shares   resulting   from  delays  in  ACH
transmissions.

      Before  initiating  Asset Builder  payments,  obtain a prospectus of the
selected  fund(s) from the  Distributor or your financial  advisor and request
an  application  from the  Distributor,  complete it and return it. The amount
of the Asset Builder  investment  may be changed or the automatic  investments
may be terminated at any time by writing to the Transfer  Agent.  The Transfer
Agent requires a reasonable  period  (approximately  15 days) after receipt of
such  instructions  to implement  them.  The Fund reserves the right to amend,
suspend,  or  discontinue  offering  Asset  Builder  plans at any time without
prior notice.

Retirement  Plans.  Certain types of Retirement Plans are entitled to purchase
shares of the Fund without sales charge or at reduced  sales charge rates,  as
described in Appendix C to this Statement of Additional  Information.  Certain
special  sales  charge  arrangements  described  in  that  Appendix  apply  to
retirement  plans whose records are maintained on a daily  valuation  basis by
Merrill  Lynch Pierce  Fenner & Smith,  Inc. or an  independent  record keeper
that has a contract or special  arrangement with Merrill Lynch. If on the date
the plan sponsor  signed the Merrill Lynch record  keeping  service  agreement
the Plan has less than $3 million in assets  (other  than  assets  invested in
money market funds)  invested in applicable  investments,  then the retirement
plan  may  purchase  only  Class  B  shares  of  the  Oppenheimer  funds.  Any
retirement  plans in that category that currently  invest in Class B shares of
the Fund will have  their  Class B shares  converted  to Class A shares of the
Fund when the Plan's applicable investments reach $5 million.

Cancellation  of Purchase  Orders.  Cancellation  of  purchase  orders for the
Fund's  shares  (for  example,  when a purchase  check is returned to the Fund
unpaid)  causes a loss to be  incurred  when the net asset value of the Fund's
shares on the  cancellation  date is less than on the purchase date. That loss
is equal to the  amount  of the  decline  in the net  asset  value  per  share
multiplied  by the number of shares in the  purchase  order.  The  investor is
responsible  for that loss. If the investor  fails to compensate  the Fund for
the loss, the  Distributor  will do so. The Fund may reimburse the Distributor
for that  amount by  redeeming  shares  from any  account  registered  in that
investor's name, or the Fund or the Distributor may seek other redress.


<PAGE>


Classes of Shares.  Each class of shares of the Fund represents an interest in
the same  portfolio  of  investments  of the  Fund.  However,  each  class has
different  shareholder  privileges and features.  The net income  attributable
to Class B or Class C shares and the  dividends  payable on Class B or Class C
shares will be reduced by  incremental  expenses  borne  solely by that class.
Those  expenses  include the  asset-based  sales  charges to which Class B and
Class C are subject.

      The  availability of different  classes of shares permits an investor to
choose  the  method of  purchasing  shares  that is more  appropriate  for the
investor.  That may depend on the amount of the  purchase,  the length of time
the investor expects to hold shares, and other relevant  circumstances.  Class
A shares  normally are sold subject to an initial sales charge.  While Class B
and Class C shares have no initial sales  charge,  the purpose of the deferred
sales  charge and  asset-based  sales  charge on Class B and Class C shares is
the  same as  that  of the  initial  sales  charge  on  Class  A  shares  - to
compensate the  Distributor  and brokers,  dealers and financial  institutions
that  sell  shares of the Fund.  A  salesperson  who is  entitled  to  receive
compensation  from  his or her  firm  for  selling  Fund  shares  may  receive
different  levels of compensation  for selling one class of shares rather than
another.

      The  Distributor  will not accept any order in the amount of $500,000 or
more for Class B shares or $1  million or more for Class C shares on behalf of
a single  investor (not including  dealer "street name" or omnibus  accounts).
That is because  generally it will be more  advantageous  for that investor to
purchase Class A shares of the Fund.

      |X|  Class B  Conversion.  The  conversion  of Class B shares to Class A
shares after six years is subject to the continuing  availability of a private
letter ruling from the Internal Revenue  Service,  or an opinion of counsel or
tax  adviser,  to the effect  that the  conversion  of Class B shares does not
constitute a taxable event for the  shareholder  under federal income tax law.
If such a revenue  ruling or opinion  is no longer  available,  the  automatic
conversion feature may be suspended,  in which event no further conversions of
Class  B  shares  would  occur  while  such  suspension  remained  in  effect.
Although  Class B shares  could  then be  exchanged  for Class A shares on the
basis of relative net asset value of the two classes,  without the  imposition
of a sales charge or fee, such exchange  could  constitute a taxable event for
the  shareholder,  and absent such exchange,  Class B shares might continue to
be subject to the asset-based sales charge for longer than six years.

      |X|  Allocation  of  Expenses.  The Fund pays  expenses  related  to its
daily  operations,  such as  custodian  bank fees,  Trustees'  fees,  transfer
agency fees,  legal fees and auditing  costs.  Those  expenses are paid out of
the Fund's assets and are not paid directly by  shareholders.  However,  those
expenses  reduce the net asset value of shares,  and therefore are  indirectly
borne by shareholders through their investment.

      The  methodology  for  calculating  the net asset value,  dividends  and
distributions  of the Fund's share classes  recognizes  two types of expenses.
General  expenses  that  do not  pertain  specifically  to any one  class  are
allocated  pro rata to the shares of all classes.  The  allocation is based on
the  percentage of the Fund's total assets that is  represented  by the assets
of each  class,  and then  equally to each  outstanding  share  within a given
class. Such general expenses include  management fees, legal,  bookkeeping and
audit fees, printing and mailing costs of shareholder reports,


<PAGE>


Prospectuses,  Statements of Additional  Information  and other  materials for
current shareholders,  fees to unaffiliated Trustees, custodian bank expenses,
share issuance costs,  organization  and start-up costs,  interest,  taxes and
brokerage commissions, and non-recurring expenses, such as litigation costs.

      Other expenses that are directly  attributable to a particular class are
allocated  equally to each  outstanding  share within that class.  Examples of
such expenses  include  distribution  and service plan (12b-1) fees,  transfer
and  shareholder  servicing  agent fees and expenses and  shareholder  meeting
expenses (to the extent that such expenses pertain only to a specific class).

Determination  of Net Asset  Values Per Share.  The net asset values per share
of each  class  of  shares  of the  Fund  are  determined  as of the  close of
business  of The New York  Stock  Exchange  on each day that the  Exchange  is
open.  The  calculation is done by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets
attributable  to a class  by the  number  of  shares  of that  class  that are
outstanding.  The Exchange  normally  closes at 4:00 P.M.,  New York time, but
may  close  earlier  on some  other  days  (for  example,  in case of  weather
emergencies or on days falling before a holiday).  The Exchange's  most recent
annual  announcement (which is subject to change) states that it will close on
New Year's Day,  Presidents'  Day,  Martin Luther King,  Jr. Day, Good Friday,
Memorial Day,  Independence  Day,  Labor Day,  Thanksgiving  Day and Christmas
Day.  It may also close on other days.

      Dealers  other than  Exchange  members  may  conduct  trading in certain
securities  on days on which the  Exchange is closed  (including  weekends and
U.S.  holidays) or after 4:00 P.M. on a regular  business  day. The Fund's net
asset  values will not be  calculated  on those days and the values of some of
the Fund's portfolio  securities may change  significantly on those days, when
shareholders  may not  purchase  or redeem  shares.  Additionally,  trading on
European and Asian stock exchanges and  over-the-counter  markets  normally is
completed before the close of The New York Stock Exchange.

      Changes  in the values of  securities  traded on  foreign  exchanges  or
markets as a result of events that occur after the prices of those  securities
are determined,  but before the close of The New York Stock Exchange, will not
be  reflected  in the  Fund's  calculation  of its net asset  values  that day
unless the  Manager  determines  that the event is likely to effect a material
change in the value of the security.  The Manager may make that determination,
under procedures established by the Board.

      n Securities  Valuation.  The Fund's  Board of Trustees has  established
procedures  for the  valuation  of the Fund's  securities.  In  general  those
procedures are as follows:

      o Equity  securities traded on a U.S.  securities  exchange or on NASDAQ
are valued as follows:
(1)   if last sale information is regularly  reported,  they are valued at the

      last  reported  sale price on the  principal  exchange on which they are
      traded or on NASDAQ, as applicable, on that day, or

(2)   if last sale  information is not available on a valuation date, they are
      valued at the last reported sale price  preceding the valuation  date if
      it is within the spread of the closing  "bid" and "asked"  prices on the
      valuation  date or, if not, at the closing  "bid" price on the valuation
      date.
      o Equity securities traded on a foreign  securities  exchange  generally

are valued in one of the following ways:

(1)   at the last sale price available to the pricing service  approved by the
      Board of Trustees, or

(2)   at the last sale price  obtained by the  Manager  from the report of the
      principal  exchange on which the  security is traded at its last trading
      session on or immediately before the valuation date, or

(3)   at the mean  between  the "bid" and  "asked"  prices  obtained  from the
      principal  exchange on which the  security is traded or, on the basis of
      reasonable inquiry, from two market makers in the security.
      o Long-term  debt  securities  having a remaining  maturity in excess of

60 days are valued  based on the mean  between  the "bid" and  "asked"  prices
determined  by a portfolio  pricing  service  approved by the Fund's  Board of
Trustees  or  obtained by the  Manager  from two active  market  makers in the
security on the basis of reasonable inquiry.

      o The  following  securities  are valued at the mean  between  the "bid"
and "asked"  prices  determined  by a pricing  service  approved by the Fund's
Board of Trustees or obtained by the Manager from two active  market makers in
the security on the basis of reasonable inquiry:
(1)   debt  instruments  that  have a  maturity  of more  than 397  days  when

         issued,

(2)   debt  instruments  that had a maturity  of 397 days or less when  issued
         and have a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, and

(3)   non-money  market  debt  instruments  that had a maturity of 397 days or
         less when  issued and which have a  remaining  maturity of 60 days or
         less.

      o  The   following   securities   are  valued  at  cost,   adjusted  for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts:
(1)   money market debt securities held by a non-money  market fund that had a

         maturity  of less than 397 days  when  issued  that have a  remaining
         maturity of 60 days or less, and

(2)   debt  instruments  held by a money  market  fund that  have a  remaining
         maturity of 397 days or less.

      o   Securities    (including    restricted    securities)   not   having
readily-available  market quotations are valued at fair value determined under
the Board's  procedures.  If the Manager is unable to locate two market makers
willing to give  quotes,  a  security  may be priced at the mean  between  the
"bid" and "asked"  prices  provided by a single  active market maker (which in
certain cases may be the "bid" price if no "asked" price is available).

      In the case of U.S. government securities,  mortgage-backed  securities,
corporate bonds and foreign government securities,  when last sale information
is not generally  available,  the Manager may use pricing services approved by
the Board of Trustees.  The pricing  service may use "matrix"  comparisons  to
the  prices  for  comparable  instruments  on the  basis  of  quality,  yield,
maturity.  Other  special  factors  may be  involved  (such as the  tax-exempt
status  of the  interest  paid by  municipal  securities).  The  Manager  will
monitor the  accuracy of the pricing  services.  That  monitoring  may include
comparing  prices  used for  portfolio  valuation  to actual  sales  prices of
selected securities.

      The  closing  prices  in  the  London  foreign   exchange  market  on  a
particular  business day that are provided to the Manager by a bank, dealer or
pricing  service  that the Manager has  determined  to be reliable are used to
value foreign currency,  including forward  contracts,  and to convert to U.S.
dollars securities that are denominated in foreign currency.

      Puts,  calls,  and  futures  are  valued at the last  sale  price on the
principal  exchange on which they are traded or on NASDAQ,  as applicable,  as
determined  by a pricing  service  approved by the Board of Trustees or by the
Manager.  If there  were no sales  that day,  they shall be valued at the last
sale  price on the  preceding  trading  day if it is within  the spread of the
closing  "bid" and "asked"  prices on the  principal  exchange or on NASDAQ on
the  valuation  date.  If not, the value shall be the closing bid price on the
principal  exchange or on NASDAQ on the  valuation  date.  If the put, call or
future is not traded on an  exchange  or on NASDAQ,  it shall be valued by the
mean between "bid" and "asked" prices  obtained by the Manager from two active
market  makers.  In certain cases that may be at the "bid" price if no "asked"
price is available.

      When the Fund writes an option,  an amount equal to the premium received
is included in the Fund's  Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset. An
equivalent  credit  is  included  in the  liability  section.  The  credit  is
adjusted  ("marked-to-market")  to reflect  the  current  market  value of the
option.  In  determining  the  Fund's  gain on  investments,  if a call or put
written by the Fund is  exercised,  the proceeds are  increased by the premium
received.  If a call or put written by the Fund  expires,  the Fund has a gain
in the  amount of the  premium.  If the Fund  enters  into a closing  purchase
transaction,  it will have a gain or loss,  depending  on whether  the premium
received  was more or less than the cost of the  closing  transaction.  If the
Fund  exercises  a put it holds,  the amount the Fund  receives on its sale of
the  underlying  investment  is reduced  by the amount of premium  paid by the
Fund.

How to Sell Shares

      Information  on  how to  sell  shares  of  the  Fund  is  stated  in the
Prospectus.  The information below provides  additional  information about the
procedures and conditions for redeeming shares.

Checkwriting.  When a check is presented to the Bank for  clearance,  the Bank
will ask the Fund to redeem a sufficient  number of full and fractional shares
in the  shareholder's  account to cover the amount of the check.  This enables
the  shareholder  to continue  receiving  dividends  on those shares until the
check is  presented to the Fund.  Checks may not be  presented  for payment at
the offices of the Bank or the Fund's  custodian  bank.  This  limitation does
not  affect the use of checks  for the  payment of bills or to obtain  cash at
other  banks.  The Fund  reserves the right to amend,  suspend or  discontinue
offering checkwriting privileges at any time without prior notice.

      In choosing to take advantage of the Checkwriting  privilege, by signing
the Account  Application or by completing a Checkwriting card, each individual
who signs:
(1)   for  individual  accounts,  represents  that  they  are  the  registered

         owner(s) of the shares of the Fund in that account;
(2)   for accounts for corporations,  partnerships, trusts and other entities,

         represents  that they are an  officer,  general  partner,  trustee or
         other  fiduciary or agent,  as applicable,  duly authorized to act on
         behalf of the registered owner(s);

(3)


<PAGE>


      authorizes  the Fund,  its Transfer Agent and any bank through which the
         Fund's  drafts  (checks)  are payable to pay all checks  drawn on the
         Fund account of such  person(s) and to redeem a sufficient  amount of
         shares from that account to cover payment of each check;

(4)   specifically  acknowledges  that if they  choose to permit  checks to be
         honored if there is a single  signature on checks drawn against joint
         accounts,  or  accounts  for  corporations,  partnerships,  trusts or
         other  entities,  the  signature of any one signatory on a check will
         be sufficient to authorize  payment of that check and redemption from
         the account,  even if that account is registered in the names of more
         than one person or more than one authorized  signature appears on the
         Checkwriting card or the Application, as applicable;

(5)   understands  that  the  Checkwriting  privilege  may  be  terminated  or
         amended at any time by the Fund and/or the Fund's bank; and

(6)   acknowledges  and agrees that  neither the Fund nor its bank shall incur
         any  liability  for that  amendment or  termination  of  checkwriting
         privileges or for redeeming shares to pay checks reasonably  believed
         by them to be genuine,  or for  returning  or not paying  checks that
         have not been accepted for any reason.

Reinvestment Privilege.  Within six months of a redemption,  a shareholder may
reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds of:

      o Class A shares  purchased  subject to an initial sales charge or Class
A shares on which a contingent deferred sales charge was paid, or

      o Class B shares that were  subject to the Class B  contingent  deferred
sales charge when redeemed.

      The  reinvestment  may be made  without  sales  charge  only in  Class A
shares of the Fund or any of the other  Oppenheimer funds into which shares of
the Fund are  exchangeable  as  described in "How to Exchange  Shares"  below.
Reinvestment  will be at the net asset value next computed  after the Transfer
Agent receives the  reinvestment  order. The shareholder must ask the Transfer
Agent for that privilege at the time of reinvestment.  This privilege does not
apply to Class C shares.  The Fund may amend,  suspend or cease  offering this
reinvestment  privilege  at any time as to shares  redeemed  after the date of
such amendment, suspension or cessation.

      Any capital  gain that was  realized  when the shares  were  redeemed is
taxable,  and  reinvestment  will not alter any  capital  gains tax payable on
that gain.  If there has been a capital  loss on the  redemption,  some or all
of the loss may not be tax  deductible,  depending on the timing and amount of
the  reinvestment.   Under  the  Internal  Revenue  Code,  if  the  redemption
proceeds of Fund  shares on which a sales  charge was paid are  reinvested  in
shares  of the Fund or  another  of the  Oppenheimer  funds  within 90 days of
payment  of the sales  charge,  the  shareholder's  basis in the shares of the
Fund that were  redeemed  may not include the amount of the sales charge paid.
That  would  reduce  the  loss  or  increase  the  gain  recognized  from  the
redemption.  However,  in that  case the  sales  charge  would be added to the
basis of the shares acquired by the reinvestment of the redemption proceeds.


<PAGE>


Payments "In Kind".  The  Prospectus  states that payment for shares  tendered
for redemption is ordinarily made in cash.  However,  the Board of Trustees of
the Fund may determine  that it would be  detrimental to the best interests of
the remaining  shareholders of the Fund to make payment of a redemption  order
wholly  or  partly  in cash.  In that  case,  the Fund may pay the  redemption
proceeds in whole or in part by a distribution "in kind" of liquid  securities
from the portfolio of the Fund, in lieu of cash.

      The Fund has elected to be  governed by Rule 18f-1 under the  Investment
Company Act.  Under that rule,  the Fund is obligated to redeem  shares solely
in cash up to the  lesser  of  $250,000  or 1% of the net  assets  of the Fund
during any 90-day  period for any one  shareholder.  If shares are redeemed in
kind,  the  redeeming  shareholder  might  incur  brokerage  or other costs in
selling the securities for cash.  The Fund will value  securities  used to pay
redemptions  in kind  using  the  same  method  the  Fund  uses to  value  its
portfolio  securities described above under "Determination of Net Asset Values
Per Share." That valuation  will be made as of the time the  redemption  price
is determined.

Involuntary  Redemptions.  The Fund's Board of Trustees has the right to cause
the involuntary  redemption of the shares held in any account if the aggregate
net asset value of those  shares is less than $1,000 or such lesser  amount as
the Board may fix.  The Board  will not cause the  involuntary  redemption  of
shares in an  account  if the  aggregate  net asset  value of such  shares has
fallen  below the stated  minimum  solely as a result of market  fluctuations.
If the Board  exercises this right, it may also fix the  requirements  for any
notice to be given to the  shareholders  in question  (not less than 30 days).
The Board may  alternatively  set requirements for the shareholder to increase
the  investment,  or set other terms and  conditions  so that the shares would
not be involuntarily redeemed.

Transfers of Shares.  A transfer of shares to a different  registration is not
an event that  triggers the payment of sales  charges.  Therefore,  shares are
not subject to the payment of a contingent  deferred sales charge of any class
at the time of transfer to the name of another  person or entity.  It does not
matter whether the transfer  occurs by absolute  assignment,  gift or bequest,
as long as it does not involve,  directly or indirectly,  a public sale of the
shares.  When  shares  subject  to a  contingent  deferred  sales  charge  are
transferred,  the  transferred  shares will remain  subject to the  contingent
deferred sales charge. It will be calculated as if the transferee  shareholder
had  acquired the  transferred  shares in the same manner and at the same time
as the transferring shareholder.

      If less than all shares  held in an account  are  transferred,  and some
but not all shares in the account  would be subject to a  contingent  deferred
sales charge if redeemed at the time of transfer,  the priorities described in
the Prospectus  under "How to Buy Shares" for the imposition of the Class B or
Class C contingent  deferred sales charge will be followed in determining  the
order in which shares are transferred.

Distributions   From  Retirement  Plans.   Requests  for  distributions   from
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored  IRAs,  403(b)(7)  custodial plans, 401(k) plans or
pension  or   profit-sharing   plans   should  be   addressed   to   "Trustee,
OppenheimerFunds  Retirement  Plans,"  c/o the  Transfer  Agent at its address
listed in "How To Sell Shares" in the  Prospectus or on the back cover of this
Statement of Additional Information.  The request must
(1)   state the reason for the distribution;
(2)   state the owner's  awareness  of tax  penalties if the  distribution  is

         premature; and

(3)   conform to the  requirements of the plan and the Fund's other redemption
         requirements.

      Participants      (other     than     self-employed      persons)     in
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored  pension or profit-sharing plans with shares of the
Fund held in the name of the plan or its  fiduciary  may not directly  request
redemption of their accounts.  The plan  administrator  or fiduciary must sign
the request.

      Distributions  from  pension  and profit  sharing  plans are  subject to
special  requirements  under the Internal  Revenue Code and certain  documents
(available  from the Transfer  Agent) must be completed  and  submitted to the
Transfer  Agent  before  the  distribution  may be  made.  Distributions  from
retirement  plans are subject to withholding  requirements  under the Internal
Revenue Code, and IRS Form W-4P  (available  from the Transfer  Agent) must be
submitted  to  the  Transfer  Agent  with  the  distribution  request,  or the
distribution  may  be  delayed.   Unless  the  shareholder  has  provided  the
Transfer  Agent with a  certified  tax  identification  number,  the  Internal
Revenue Code requires that tax be withheld from any  distribution  even if the
shareholder  elects  not to have tax  withheld.  The Fund,  the  Manager,  the
Distributor,  and the  Transfer  Agent assume no  responsibility  to determine
whether a  distribution  satisfies the  conditions of applicable  tax laws and
will not be responsible  for any tax penalties  assessed in connection  with a
distribution.

Special  Arrangements  for Repurchase of Shares from Dealers and Brokers.  The
Distributor  is the Fund's  agent to  repurchase  its shares  from  authorized
dealers or brokers on behalf of their customers.  Shareholders  should contact
their  broker or dealer to arrange  this type of  redemption.  The  repurchase
price  per  share  will  be the  net  asset  value  next  computed  after  the
Distributor receives an order placed by the dealer or broker.  However, if the
Distributor  receives a  repurchase  order  from a dealer or broker  after the
close of The New York Stock  Exchange  on a regular  business  day, it will be
processed  at that  day's net asset  value if the  order was  received  by the
dealer or broker from its  customers  prior to the time the  Exchange  closes.
Normally,  the  Exchange  closes at 4:00  P.M.,  but may do so earlier on some
days.  Additionally,  the order must have been  transmitted to and received by
the  Distributor  prior to its  close of  business  that  day  (normally  5:00
P.M.).

      Ordinarily,   for  accounts  redeemed  by  a  broker-dealer  under  this
procedure,  payment will be made within three  business  days after the shares
have been redeemed upon the Distributor's  receipt of the required  redemption
documents in proper form. The  signature(s)  of the  registered  owners on the
redemption documents must be guaranteed as described in the Prospectus.

Automatic  Withdrawal and Exchange Plans.  Investors owning shares of the Fund
valued at $5,000 or more can  authorize  the Transfer  Agent to redeem  shares
(having  a value of at  least  $50)  automatically  on a  monthly,  quarterly,
semi-annual or annual basis under an Automatic  Withdrawal  Plan.  Shares will
be  redeemed   three  business  days  prior  to  the  date  requested  by  the
shareholder  for  receipt  of  the  payment.  Automatic  withdrawals  of up to
$1,500 per month may be  requested  by telephone if payments are to be made by
check  payable to all  shareholders  of record.  Payments must also be sent to
the  address  of record for the  account  and the  address  must not have been
changed  within  the  prior  30  days.  Required  minimum  distributions  from
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored  retirement  plans  may  not be  arranged  on  this
basis.

      Payments  are  normally   made  by  check,   but   shareholders   having
AccountLink  privileges  (see  "How  To  Buy  Shares")  may  arrange  to  have
Automatic  Withdrawal Plan payments transferred to the bank account designated
on the Account  Application or by  signature-guaranteed  instructions  sent to
the  Transfer  Agent.  Shares are normally  redeemed  pursuant to an Automatic
Withdrawal  Plan three business days before the payment  transmittal  date you
select in the Account  Application.  If a  contingent  deferred  sales  charge
applies to the redemption,  the amount of the check or payment will be reduced
accordingly.

      The Fund cannot  guarantee  receipt of a payment on the date  requested.
The Fund reserves the right to amend,  suspend or  discontinue  offering these
plans at any time without prior notice.  Because of the sales charge  assessed
on Class A share purchases,  shareholders  should not make regular  additional
Class A share purchases while  participating in an Automatic  Withdrawal Plan.
Class B and  Class C  shareholders  should  not  establish  withdrawal  plans,
because of the  imposition  of the  contingent  deferred  sales charge on such
withdrawals  (except where the  contingent  deferred sales charge is waived as
described in Appendix C to this Statement of Additional Information.)

      By requesting an Automatic  Withdrawal or Exchange Plan, the shareholder
agrees  to the  terms  and  conditions  that  apply to such  plans,  as stated
below.  These  provisions  may be amended from time to time by the Fund and/or
the  Distributor.  When adopted,  any amendments will  automatically  apply to
existing Plans.

      n Automatic  Exchange  Plans.  Shareholders  can  authorize the Transfer
Agent to  exchange  a  pre-determined  amount of shares of the Fund for shares
(of the same class) of other  Oppenheimer  funds  automatically  on a monthly,
quarterly,  semi-annual or annual basis under an Automatic  Exchange Plan. The
minimum  amount  that may be  exchanged  to each  other  fund  account is $25.
Instructions  should  be  provided  on  the  OppenheimerFunds  Application  or
signature-guaranteed  instructions.  Exchanges  made  under  these  plans  are
subject to the  restrictions  that apply to  exchanges as set forth in "How to
Exchange  Shares" in the  Prospectus and below in this Statement of Additional
Information.

      n  Automatic   Withdrawal   Plans.  Fund  shares  will  be  redeemed  as
necessary  to  meet  withdrawal  payments.  Shares  acquired  without  a sales
charge will be redeemed first.  Shares acquired with reinvested  dividends and
capital  gains  distributions  will  be  redeemed  next,  followed  by  shares
acquired  with a sales  charge,  to the extent  necessary  to make  withdrawal
payments.  Depending upon the amount withdrawn,  the investor's  principal may
be depleted.  Payments  made under these plans should not be  considered  as a
yield or income on your investment.

      The Transfer Agent will administer the investor's  Automatic  Withdrawal
Plan as agent for the shareholder(s)  (the "Planholder") who executed the Plan
authorization  and application  submitted to the Transfer  Agent.  Neither the
Fund nor the Transfer  Agent shall incur any liability to the  Planholder  for
any  action  taken  or not  taken  by the  Transfer  Agent  in good  faith  to
administer the Plan. Share  certificates  will not be issued for shares of the
Fund  purchased  for and held  under the Plan,  but the  Transfer  Agent  will
credit all such shares to the account of the  Planholder on the records of the
Fund.  Any  share  certificates  held  by  a  Planholder  may  be  surrendered
unendorsed to the Transfer Agent with the Plan  application so that the shares
represented by the certificate may be held under the Plan.

      For accounts  subject to Automatic  Withdrawal  Plans,  distributions of
capital gains must be reinvested in shares of the Fund,  which will be done at
net  asset  value  without a sales  charge.  Dividends  on shares  held in the
account may be paid in cash or reinvested.

      Shares  will be redeemed  to make  withdrawal  payments at the net asset
value per share  determined  on the  redemption  date.  Checks or  AccountLink
payments  representing  the  proceeds  of Plan  withdrawals  will  normally be
transmitted  three business days prior to the date selected for receipt of the
payment,  according  to the choice  specified  in  writing by the  Planholder.
Receipt of payment on the date selected cannot be guaranteed.

      The amount and the interval of disbursement  payments and the address to
which  checks are to be mailed or  AccountLink  payments are to be sent may be
changed at any time by the  Planholder by writing to the Transfer  Agent.  The
Planholder   should  allow  at  least  two  weeks'  time  after  mailing  such
notification  for the  requested  change to be put in effect.  The  Planholder
may, at any time,  instruct  the  Transfer  Agent by written  notice to redeem
all,  or any part of, the shares  held under the Plan.  That notice must be in
proper  form  in  accordance  with  the   requirements  of  the   then-current
Prospectus  of the Fund.  In that case,  the  Transfer  Agent will  redeem the
number of shares  requested  at the net  asset  value per share in effect  and
will mail a check for the proceeds to the Planholder.

      The  Planholder  may  terminate  a Plan at any  time by  writing  to the
Transfer  Agent.  The Fund may also give  directions to the Transfer  Agent to
terminate  a Plan.  The  Transfer  Agent will also  terminate  a Plan upon its
receipt of  evidence  satisfactory  to it that the  Planholder  has died or is
legally  incapacitated.  Upon  termination  of a Plan by the Transfer Agent or
the Fund,  shares that have not been redeemed  will be held in  uncertificated
form  in  the  name  of  the  Planholder.  The  account  will  continue  as  a
dividend-reinvestment,   uncertificated   account   unless  and  until  proper
instructions  are  received  from  the  Planholder,  his  or her  executor  or
guardian, or another authorized person.

      To use  shares  held  under  the  Plan as  collateral  for a  debt,  the
Planholder  may request  issuance  of a portion of the shares in  certificated
form.  Upon written  request  from the  Planholder,  the  Transfer  Agent will
determine the number of shares for which a certificate  may be issued  without
causing the withdrawal  checks to stop.  However,  should such  uncertificated
shares become exhausted, Plan withdrawals will terminate.

      If the Transfer  Agent ceases to act as transfer agent for the Fund, the
Planholder  will be deemed to have  appointed any successor  transfer agent to
act as agent in administering the Plan.

            How to Exchange Shares

      As  stated  in  the  Prospectus,   shares  of  a  particular   class  of
Oppenheimer  funds having more than one class of shares may be exchanged  only
for  shares  of  the  same  class  of  other  Oppenheimer  funds.   Shares  of
Oppenheimer  funds that have a single class  without a class  designation  are
deemed  "Class A"  shares  for this  purpose.  You can  obtain a current  list
showing  which  funds  offer  which  classes by  calling  the  Distributor  at
1-800-525-7048.

      o All of the  Oppenheimer  funds currently offer Class A, B and C shares
except  Oppenheimer  Money Market Fund,  Inc.,  Centennial Money Market Trust,
Centennial Tax Exempt Trust,  Centennial Government Trust, Centennial New York
Tax Exempt  Trust,  Centennial  California  Tax Exempt Trust,  and  Centennial
America Fund, L.P., which only offer Class A shares.

      o Oppenheimer  Main Street  California  Municipal Fund currently  offers
only Class A and Class B shares.

      o  Class  B  and  Class  C  shares  of  Oppenheimer  Cash  Reserves  are
generally  available  only by exchange  from the same class of shares of other
Oppenheimer funds or through OppenheimerFunds-sponsored 401 (k) plans.

      o Class Y shares of  Oppenheimer  Real Asset  Fund may not be  exchanged
for shares of any other Fund.

      Class A shares of Oppenheimer  funds may be exchanged at net asset value
for shares of any money  market  fund  offered by the  Distributor.  Shares of
any money market fund  purchased  without a sales charge may be exchanged  for
shares of  Oppenheimer  funds  offered with a sales charge upon payment of the
sales charge.  They may also be used to purchase  shares of Oppenheimer  funds
subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.

      Shares  of  Oppenheimer  Money  Market  Fund,  Inc.  purchased  with the
redemption  proceeds of shares of other mutual funds (other than funds managed
by the Manager or its subsidiaries)  redeemed within the 30 days prior to that
purchase may subsequently be exchanged for shares of other  Oppenheimer  funds
without being subject to an initial or contingent  deferred  sales charge.  To
qualify for that privilege,  the investor or the investor's dealer must notify
the  Distributor of  eligibility  for this privilege at the time the shares of
Oppenheimer  Money Market Fund,  Inc. are purchased.  If requested,  they must
supply proof of entitlement to this privilege.

      For accounts  established  on or before  March 8, 1996  holding  Class M
shares of  Oppenheimer  Convertible  Securities  Fund,  Class M shares  can be
exchanged  only for Class A shares of other  Oppenheimer  funds.  Exchanges to
Class M shares of Oppenheimer  Convertible  Securities Fund are permitted from
Class A shares of  Oppenheimer  Money Market Fund,  Inc. or  Oppenheimer  Cash
Reserves  that  were  acquired  by  exchange  of  Class  M  shares.  No  other
exchanges may be made to Class M shares.

      Shares  of  the  Fund   acquired  by   reinvestment   of   dividends  or
distributions  from  any of the  other  Oppenheimer  funds  or from  any  unit
investment trust for which  reinvestment  arrangements have been made with the
Distributor  may be  exchanged  at net asset  value  for  shares of any of the
Oppenheimer funds.

      |X|  How  Exchanges  Affect  Contingent   Deferred  Sales  Charges.   No
contingent  deferred  sales  charge is imposed on  exchanges  of shares of any
class purchased subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.  However,  when
Class A shares  acquired by  exchange  of Class A shares of other  Oppenheimer
funds  purchased  subject to a Class A  contingent  deferred  sales charge are
redeemed  within  18 months of the end of the  calendar  month of the  initial
purchase of the  exchanged  Class A shares,  the Class A  contingent  deferred
sales  charge is  imposed  on the  redeemed  shares.  The  Class B  contingent
deferred  sales  charge is imposed on Class B shares  acquired  by exchange if
they


<PAGE>


are redeemed  within 6 years of the initial  purchase of the exchanged Class B
shares.  The Class C  contingent  deferred  sales charge is imposed on Class C
shares  acquired  by  exchange  if they are  redeemed  within 12 months of the
initial purchase of the exchanged Class C shares.

      When Class B or Class C shares are redeemed to effect an  exchange,  the
priorities  described  in  "How  To Buy  Shares"  in the  Prospectus  for  the
imposition  of the Class B or the Class C  contingent  deferred  sales  charge
will be followed in  determining  the order in which the shares are exchanged.
Before  exchanging  shares,  shareholders  should  take into  account  how the
exchange  may  affect  any  contingent  deferred  sales  charge  that might be
imposed  in  the  subsequent  redemption  of  remaining  shares.  Shareholders
owning  shares of more than one class must specify  which class of shares they
wish to exchange.

      |X| Limits on Multiple  Exchange Orders.  The Fund reserves the right to
reject telephone or written exchange  requests  submitted in bulk by anyone on
behalf of more than one account.  The Fund may accept  requests for  exchanges
of up to 50 accounts per day from  representatives  of authorized dealers that
qualify for this privilege.

      |X| Telephone  Exchange  Requests.  When exchanging shares by telephone,
a shareholder  must have an existing account in the fund to which the exchange
is to be made. Otherwise,  the investors must obtain a Prospectus of that fund
before the exchange  request may be submitted.  For full or partial  exchanges
of an account made by telephone,  any special  account  features such as Asset
Builder  Plans and  Automatic  Withdrawal  Plans will be  switched  to the new
account  unless the Transfer Agent is instructed  otherwise.  If all telephone
lines are busy (which might occur, for example,  during periods of substantial
market  fluctuations),  shareholders might not be able to request exchanges by
telephone and would have to submit written exchange requests.

      |X| Processing  Exchange  Requests.  Shares to be exchanged are redeemed
on the regular  business day the Transfer Agent  receives an exchange  request
in proper form (the  "Redemption  Date").  Normally,  shares of the fund to be
acquired are  purchased on the  Redemption  Date,  but such  purchases  may be
delayed  by either  fund up to five  business  days if it  determines  that it
would be  disadvantaged by an immediate  transfer of the redemption  proceeds.
The Fund  reserves  the  right,  in its  discretion,  to refuse  any  exchange
request  that may  disadvantage  it. For  example,  if the receipt of multiple
exchange  requests  from a dealer might require the  disposition  of portfolio
securities at a time or at a price that might be  disadvantageous to the Fund,
the Fund may refuse the request.

      In connection with any exchange request,  the number of shares exchanged
may be less than the number  requested if the exchange or the number requested
would include shares subject to a restriction  cited in the Prospectus or this
Statement of  Additional  Information,  or would include  shares  covered by a
share  certificate  that is not  tendered  with the  request.  In those cases,
only the shares available for exchange without restriction will be exchanged.

      The different  Oppenheimer  funds  available for exchange have different
investment  objectives,  policies and risks. A shareholder  should assure that
the fund  selected  is  appropriate  for his or her  investment  and should be
aware  of  the  tax  consequences  of an  exchange.  For  federal  income  tax
purposes,  an exchange transaction is treated as a redemption of shares of one
fund and a purchase of shares of  another.  "Reinvestment  Privilege,"  above,
discusses some of the tax consequences of reinvestment of redemption  proceeds
in such cases.  The Fund, the  Distributor,  and the Transfer Agent are unable
to provide  investment,  tax or legal advice to a  shareholder  in  connection
with an exchange request or any other investment transaction.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

Dividends  and  Distributions.  Dividends  will be payable  on shares  held of
record at the time of the previous  determination  of net asset  value,  or as
otherwise  described  in "How to Buy  Shares."  Daily  dividends  will  not be
declared or paid on newly  purchased  shares until such time as Federal  Funds
(funds  credited to a member bank's  account at the Federal  Reserve Bank) are
available  from the  purchase  payment  for such  shares.  Normally,  purchase
checks  received  from  investors  are  converted to Federal Funds on the next
business day. Shares  purchased  through dealers or brokers  normally are paid
for by the third business day following the placement of the purchase order.

      Shares redeemed  through the regular  redemption  procedure will be paid
dividends  through and  including the day on which the  redemption  request is
received by the Transfer  Agent in proper form.  Dividends will be declared on
shares  repurchased  by a dealer or broker for three  business days  following
the trade date (that is, up to and  including  the day prior to  settlement of
the  repurchase).  If all shares in an account  are  redeemed,  all  dividends
accrued on shares of the same class in the account will be paid  together with
the redemption proceeds.

      The Fund's  practice of attempting to pay dividends on Class A shares at
a constant level requires the Manager to monitor the Fund's  portfolio and, if
necessary, to select higher-yielding  securities when it is deemed appropriate
to seek income at the level needed to meet the target.  Those  securities must
be within the Fund's investment  parameters,  however. The Fund expects to pay
dividends  at a  targeted  level  from its net  investment  income  and  other
distributable income without any impact on the net asset values per share.

      The Fund  has no fixed  dividend  rate for  Class B,  Class C or Class Y
shares, and the rate can change for Class A shares.  There can be no assurance
as to the payment of any dividends or the  realization  of any capital  gains.
The dividends and distributions  paid by a class of shares will vary from time
to  time  depending  on  market  conditions,  the  composition  of the  Fund's
portfolio,  and  expenses  borne by the Fund or borne  separately  by a class.
Dividends  are  calculated  in the same manner,  at the same time,  and on the
same day for each class of shares.  However,  dividends on Class B and Class C
shares are expected to be lower than  dividends on Class A and Class Y shares.
That is because of the effect of the  asset-based  sales charge on Class B and
Class C shares.  Those  dividends  will also differ in amount as a consequence
of any difference in the net asset values of the different classes of shares.

      Dividends,  distributions  and proceeds of the redemption of Fund shares
represented by checks  returned to the Transfer Agent by the Postal Service as
undeliverable  will be invested in shares of  Oppenheimer  Money  Market Fund,
Inc.  Reinvestment  will be made as promptly  as possible  after the return of
such checks to the Transfer  Agent, to enable the investor to earn a return on
otherwise idle funds.  Unclaimed  accounts may be subject to state escheatment
laws, and the Fund and the Transfer  Agent will not be liable to  shareholders
or their representatives for compliance with those laws in good faith.

Tax  Status  of the  Fund's  Dividends  and  Distributions.  The  Federal  tax
treatment of the Fund's  dividends and capital gains  distributions is briefly
highlighted in the Prospectus.

          Special   provisions  of  the  Internal   Revenue  Code  govern  the
eligibility of the Fund's dividends for the  dividends-received  deduction for
corporate   shareholders.   Long-term  capital  gains  distributions  are  not
eligible  for the  deduction.  The amount of  dividends  paid by the Fund that
may  qualify  for  the  deduction  is  limited  to  the  aggregate  amount  of
qualifying  dividends  that the Fund derives from portfolio  investments  that
the  Fund has  held  for a  minimum  period,  usually  46  days.  A  corporate
shareholder  will not be eligible for the deduction on dividends  paid on Fund
shares  held for 45 days or less.  To the  extent  the  Fund's  dividends  are
derived from gross income from option premiums,  interest income or short-term
gains from the sale of  securities  or dividends  from  foreign  corporations,
those dividends will not qualify for the deduction.

      Under the  Internal  Revenue  Code,  by December 31 each year,  the Fund
must  distribute  98% of its taxable  investment  income earned from January 1
through  December 31 of that year and 98% of its capital gains realized in the
period  from  November 1 of the prior year  through  October 31 of the current
year.  If it does  not,  the Fund must pay an excise  tax on the  amounts  not
distributed.  It is  presently  anticipated  that the  Fund  will  meet  those
requirements.  However,  the Board of Trustees and the Manager might determine
in a particular  year that it would be in the best  interests of  shareholders
for the Fund not to make such  distributions at the required levels and to pay
the excise tax on the undistributed  amounts.  That would reduce the amount of
income or capital gains available for distribution to shareholders.

      The Fund intends to qualify as a "regulated  investment  company"  under
the  Internal  Revenue  Code  (although it reserves the right not to qualify).
That qualification  enables the Fund to "pass through" its income and realized
capital gains to  shareholders  without having to pay tax on them. This avoids
a double tax on that income and capital  gains,  since  shareholders  normally
will be taxed on the  dividends  and capital  gains they receive from the Fund
(unless the Fund's shares are held in a retirement  account or the shareholder
is  otherwise  exempt  from  tax).  If  the  Fund  qualifies  as a  "regulated
investment  company"  under the Internal  Revenue  Code, it will not be liable
for  federal   income  taxes  on  amounts   paid  by  it  as   dividends   and
distributions.  The Fund  qualified as a regulated  investment  company in its
last fiscal  year.  The  Internal  Revenue  Code  contains a number of complex
tests  relating  to  qualification  which  the  Fund  might  not  meet  in any
particular  year. If it did not so qualify,  the Fund would be treated for tax
purposes as an ordinary  corporation and receive no tax deduction for payments
made to shareholders.

      If prior  distributions made by the Fund must be  re-characterized  as a
non-taxable  return of capital  at the end of the  fiscal  year as a result of
the effect of the Fund's investment policies,  they will be identified as such
in notices sent to shareholders.

Dividend  Reinvestment in Another Fund.  Shareholders of the Fund may elect to
reinvest all dividends  and/or  capital gains  distributions  in shares of the
same class of any of the other  Oppenheimer  funds listed above.  Reinvestment
will be made  without  sales charge at the net asset value per share in effect
at the close of business on the payable date of the dividend or  distribution.
To elect this  option,  the  shareholder  must  notify the  Transfer  Agent in
writing  and  must  have  an  existing   account  in  the  fund  selected  for
reinvestment. Otherwise the shareholder first must obtain


<PAGE>


a  prospectus  for  that  fund and an  application  from  the  Distributor  to
establish an account.  Dividends and/or  distributions  from shares of certain
other  Oppenheimer  funds  (other  than  Oppenheimer  Cash  Reserves)  may  be
invested in shares of this Fund on the same basis.

Additional Information About the Fund

The  Distributor.  The Fund's  shares are sold  through  dealers,  brokers and
other   financial    institutions   that   have   a   sales   agreement   with
OppenheimerFunds  Distributor,  Inc., a subsidiary of the Manager that acts as
the Fund's  Distributor.  The Distributor also distributes shares of the other
Oppenheimer funds and is sub-distributor  for funds managed by a subsidiary of
the Manager.

The Transfer Agent.  OppenheimerFunds  Services, the Fund's Transfer Agent, is
a division  of the  Manager.  It is  responsible  for  maintaining  the Fund's
shareholder  registry  and  shareholder  accounting  records,  and for  paying
dividends  and  distributions  to  shareholders.  It also handles  shareholder
servicing and  administrative  functions.  It acts on an "at-cost"  basis.  It
also acts as  shareholder  servicing  agent for the other  Oppenheimer  funds.
Shareholders  should  direct  inquiries  about their  accounts to the Transfer
Agent at the address and toll-free numbers shown on the back cover.

The  Custodian.  The Bank of New York is the  custodian of the Fund's  assets.
The custodian  bank's  responsibilities  include  safeguarding and controlling
the Fund's  portfolio  securities and handling the delivery of such securities
to and from the  Fund.  It will be the  practice  of the Fund to deal with the
custodian  bank in a  manner  uninfluenced  by any  banking  relationship  the
custodian bank may have with the Manager and its  affiliates.  The Fund's cash
balances  with the  custodian  bank in excess of $100,000 are not protected by
Federal  deposit   insurance.   Those  uninsured  balances  at  times  may  be
substantial.

Independent  Auditors.  Deloitte & Touche LLP are the independent  auditors of
the Fund.  They  audit the  Fund's  financial  statements  and  perform  other
related  audit  services.  They  also  act as  auditors  for the  Manager  and
certain other funds advised by the Manager and its affiliates.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

================================================================================
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Oppenheimer Bond Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the statement of investments, of Oppenheimer Bond Fund as of December 31, 1998,
the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of
changes in net assets for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
financial highlights for the period January 1, 1994, to December 31, 1998. 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, 1998, by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers; where replies 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, such financial statements and financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Oppenheimer Bond Fund as of December 31, 1998, the results of its operations,
the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the respective
stated periods, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1. Face amount is reported in U.S. Dollars, except for those denoted in the
following currencies: 

CAD--Canadian Dollar 

XEU--European Currency Units

2.Identifies issues considered to be illiquid or restricted--See Note 7 of Notes
to Financial Statements.

3. Interest-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly interest
payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. These securities typically
decline in price as interest rates decline. Most other fixed income securities
increase in price when interest rates decline. The principal amount of the
underlying pool represents the notional amount on which current interest is
calculated. The price of these securities is typically more sensitive to
changes in prepayment rates than traditional mortgage-backed securities (for
example, GNMA pass-throughs). Interest rates disclosed represent current yields
based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing and amount of future
cash flows.

4. When-issued security to be delivered and settled after December 31, 1998.

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

6. Represents the current interest rate for a variable rate security.

7. Represents securities sold under Rule 144A, which are exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities
have been determined to be liquid under guidelines established by the Board of
Trustees. These securities amount to $29,100,374 or 8.16% of the Fund's net
assets as of December 31, 1998.

8. Securities with an aggregate market value of $537,500 are held in
collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures
sales contracts. See Note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements.

9. A sufficient amount of securities has been designated to cover outstanding
forward foreign currency exchange contracts. See Note 5 of Notes to Financial
Statements.

10. Non-income producing--issuer is in default.

11.Denotes a step bond: a zero coupon bond that converts to a fixed or variable
interest rate at a designated future date.

12. Units may be comprised of several components, such as debt and equity
and/or warrants to purchase equity at some point in the future. For units which
represent debt securities, face amount disclosed represents total underlying
principal.

13. Non-income producing security.

14. Interest or dividend is paid-in-kind.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

===============================================================================
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Oppenheimer Bond Fund (the Fund) is a separate fund of Oppenheimer Integrity
Funds, a diversified, open-end management investment company registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund's investment objective
is to seek a high level of current income by investing mainly in debt
instruments. The Fund will, under normal market conditions, invest at least 65%
of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of investment grade debt
securities. 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 with a front-end sales charge. Class B and Class C shares may be
subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. 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. Class 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.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
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 an
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. Forward 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 or dealer.
Options are valued based upon the last sale price on the principal exchange on
which the option is traded or, in the absence of any transactions that day, the
value is based upon the last sale price on the prior trading date if it is
within the spread between the closing bid and asked prices. If the last sale
price is outside the spread, the closing bid is used.

                           36  Oppenheimer Bond Fund


<PAGE>

================================================================================
SECURITIES PURCHASED ON A WHEN-ISSUED BASIS. Delivery and payment for securities
that have been purchased by the Fund on a forward commitment or when-issued
basis can take place a month or more after the transaction date. During this
period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation
and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The Fund
maintains, in a segregated account with its custodian, assets with a market
value equal to the amount of its purchase commitments. The purchase of
securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis may increase the
volatility of the Fund's net asset value to the extent the Fund makes such
purchases while remaining substantially fully invested. As of December 31, 1998,
the Fund had entered into outstanding when-issued or forward commitments of
$24,995,035.

                  In connection with its ability to purchase securities on a
when-issued or forward commitment basis, the Fund may enter into mortgage
dollar-rolls in which the Fund sells securities for delivery in the current
month and simultaneously contracts with the same counterparty to repurchase
similar (same type, coupon and maturity) but not identical securities on a
specified future date. The Fund records each dollar-roll as a sale and a new
purchase transaction.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the Fund are maintained
in U.S. dollars. Prices of securities denominated in foreign currencies are
translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rates of exchange. Amounts related
to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and investment income are
translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such
transactions.

                  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.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


================================================================================
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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 December 31, 1998, the
Fund had available for federal income tax purposes an unused capital loss
carryover of $6,236,000, which expires between 2002 and 2004.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. The Fund intends to declare dividends separately
for Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Y shares from net investment income
each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business and pay such dividends
monthly. Distributions from net realized gains on investments, if any, will be
declared at least once each year.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLASSIFICATION OF DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Net investment income (loss)
and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes
primarily because of paydown gains and losses and the recognition of certain
foreign currency gains (losses) as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes. The
character of the 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.

                  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 year ended December 31, 1998, amounts have been
reclassified to reflect a decrease in paid-in capital of $166,931, a decrease
in undistributed net investment income of $10,818, and a decrease in
accumulated net realized loss on investments of $177,749.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER. Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the investments are
purchased or sold (trade date). Discount on securities purchased is amortized
over the life of the respective securities, in accordance with federal income
tax requirements. 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. Dividends-in-kind are
recognized as income on the ex-dividend date, at the current market value of the
underlying security. Interest on payment-in-kind debt instruments is accrued as
income at the coupon rate and a market adjustment is made periodically.

                  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.

3. UNREALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES ON INVESTMENTS

As of December 31, 1998, net unrealized appreciation on investments of
$5,315,752 was composed of gross appreciation of $10,177,934, and gross
depreciation of $4,862,182.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 0.75% of the first
$200 million of the Fund's average annual net assets, 0.72% of the next $200
million, 0.69% of the next $200 million, 0.66% of the next $200 million, 0.60%
of the next $200 million, and 0.50% of net assets in excess of $1 billion. The
Fund's management fee for the year ended December 31, 1998 was 0.74% of the
average annual net assets for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares.

                  For the year ended December 31, 1998, commissions (sales
charges paid by investors) on sales of Class A shares totaled $751,085, of
which $221,787 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 A, Class B and Class C shares totaled $112,467, $1,420,342 and
$117,997, respectively. Amounts paid to an affiliated broker/dealer for Class B
and Class C shares were $93,828 and $3,459, respectively. During the year ended
December 31, 1998, OFDI received contingent deferred sales charges of $186,638
and $7,397, 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 other
Oppenheimer funds. OFS's total costs of providing such services are allocated
ratably to these funds.

                  The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A shares to
reimburse OFDI for a portion of its costs incurred in connection with the
personal service and maintenance of shareholder accounts that hold Class A
shares. Reimbursement is made quarterly at an annual rate that may not exceed
0.25% of the average annual net assets of Class A shares of the Fund. OFDI uses
the service fee to reimburse brokers, dealers, banks and other financial
institutions quarterly for providing personal service and maintenance of
accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares. During the year ended
December 31, 1998, OFDI paid $186,566 to an affiliated broker/dealer as
reimbursement for Class A personal service and maintenance expenses.

                           40  Oppenheimer Bond Fund


<PAGE>

================================================================================
The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans for Class B and Class C
shares to compensate OFDI for its costs in distributing Class B and Class C
shares and servicing accounts. Under the Plans, the Fund pays OFDI an annual
asset-based sales charge of 0.75% per year on Class B and Class C shares for
its services rendered in distributing Class B and Class C shares. OFDI also
receives a service fee of 0.25% per year to compensate dealers for providing
personal services for accounts that hold Class B and Class C shares. Each fee
is computed on the average annual net assets of Class B or Class C shares,
determined as of the close of each regular business day. During the year ended
December 31, 1998, OFDI paid $7,125 to an affiliated broker/dealer as
compensation for Class B personal service and maintenance expenses and retained
$541,252 and $118,222, respectively, as compensation for Class B and Class C
sales commissions and service fee advances, as well as financing costs. If
either Plan is terminated by the Fund, the Board of Trustees may allow the Fund
to continue payments of the asset-based sales charge to OFDI for distributing
shares before the Plan was terminated. As of December 31, 1998, OFDI had
incurred excess distribution and servicing costs of $2,413,027 for Class B and
$253,281 for Class C.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. FORWARD CONTRACTS

A forward foreign currency exchange contract (forward contract) is a commitment
to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date, at a negotiated rate.

                  The Fund uses forward contracts to seek to manage foreign
currency risks. They may also be used to tactically shift portfolio currency
risk. The Fund generally enters into forward contracts as a hedge upon the
purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency. In addition,
the Fund may enter into such contracts as a hedge against changes in foreign
currency exchange rates on portfolio positions.

                  Forward 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 or dealer. The Fund will realize a
gain or loss upon the closing or settlement of the forward transaction.

                  Securities held in segregated accounts to cover net exposure
on outstanding forward contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments
where applicable. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on forward contracts
is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains and
losses are reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the
Fund's Statement of Operations.

                  Risks include the potential inability of the counterparty to
meet the terms of the contract and unanticipated movements in the value of a
foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

================================================================================
6. FUTURES CONTRACTS

The Fund may buy and sell interest rate futures contracts in order to gain
exposure to or protect against changes in interest rates. The Fund may also buy
or write put or call options on these futures contracts.

                  The Fund generally sells futures contracts to hedge against
increases in interest rates and the resulting negative effect on the value of
fixed rate portfolio securities. The Fund may also purchase futures contracts
to gain exposure to changes in interest rates as it may be more efficient or
cost effective than actually buying fixed income securities.

                  Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required
to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a
certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation
margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin
payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded
as unrealized gains and losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss
when the contract is closed or expires.

                  Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial
margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of
Investments. The Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects a receivable or
payable for the daily mark to market for variation margin.

                  Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related
options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market and that
a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes
in the value of the underlying securities.

7. ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES

As of December 31, 1998, investments in securities included issues that are
illiquid or restricted. Restricted securities are often purchased in private
placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, may
have contractual restrictions on resale, and are valued under methods approved
by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. A security may be considered
illiquid if it lacks a readily available market or if its valuation has not
changed for a certain period of time. The Fund intends to invest no more than
10% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed
periodically) in illiquid or restricted securities. Certain restricted
securities, eligible for resale to qualified institutional investors, are not
subject to that limit. The aggregate value of illiquid or restricted securities
subject to this limitation as of December 31, 1998 was $22,178,514, which
represents 6.22% of the Fund's net assets.

================================================================================
8.  ACQUISITION OF OPPENHEIMER LIFESPAN INCOME FUND

On June 12, 1998, the Fund acquired all the net assets of Oppenheimer LifeSpan
Income Fund, pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization approved by the
Oppenheimer LifeSpan Income Fund shareholders on June 9, 1998. The Fund issued
(at an exchange ratio of 0.936419 for Class A, 0.940145 for Class B and 0.939042
for Class C of the Fund to one share of Oppenheimer LifeSpan Income Fund)
2,792,886, 85,738 and 8,740 shares of beneficial interest for Class A, Class B,
and Class C, respectively, valued at $30,889,321, $947,405 and $96,665,
respectively, in exchange for the net assets, resulting in combined Class A net
assets of $230,808,283, Class B net assets of $59,193,669 and Class C net assets
of $13,957,428 on June 12, 1998. The net assets acquired included net unrealized
appreciation of $514,326. The exchange qualified as a tax-free reorganization
for federal income tax purposes.

9. BANK BORROWINGS

The Fund may borrow from a bank for temporary or emergency purposes including,
without limitation, funding of shareholder redemptions provided asset coverage
for borrowings exceeds 300%. The Fund has entered into an agreement which
enables it to participate with other Oppenheimer funds in an unsecured line of
credit with a bank, which permits borrowings up to $400 million, collectively.
Interest is charged to each fund, based on its borrowings, at a rate equal to
the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.35%. 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
0.0575% per annum.

                  The Fund had no borrowings outstanding during the year ended
December 31, 1998.

                              RATINGS DEFINITIONS

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Below   are    summaries   of   the   rating    definitions    used   by   the
nationally-recognized  rating agencies listed below.  Those ratings  represent
the  opinion of the agency as to the credit  quality of issues that they rate.
The summaries below are based upon publicly-available  information provided by
the rating organizations.

Moody's Investors Service, Inc.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Long-Term (Taxable) Bond Ratings

Aaa:  Bonds  rated  Aaa are  judged  to be the best  quality.  They  carry the
smallest  degree of  investment  risk.  Interest  payments are  protected by a
large or by an  exceptionally  stable  margin and  principal is secure.  While
the various protective  elements are likely to change, the changes that can be
expected  are most  unlikely to impair the  fundamentally  strong  position of
such issues.

Aa:  Bonds  rated  Aa are  judged  to be of  high  quality  by all  standards.
Together  with  the Aaa  group,  they  comprise  what are  generally  known as
high-grade  bonds.  They are rated lower than the best bonds  because  margins
of protection  may not be as large as with Aaa  securities or  fluctuation  of
protective  elements  may be of  greater  amplitude  or  there  may  be  other
elements  present which make the long-term  risks appear  somewhat larger than
those of Aaa securities.

A: Bonds rated A possess many  favorable  investment  attributes and are to be
considered as  upper-medium  grade  obligations.  Factors  giving  security to
principal  and  interest are  considered  adequate but elements may be present
which suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.

Baa: Bonds rated Baa are considered  medium grade  obligations;  that is, they
are  neither  highly  protected  nor poorly  secured.  Interest  payments  and
principal  security  appear  adequate  for the present but certain  protective
elements  may be  lacking  or may be  characteristically  unreliable  over any
great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding  investment  characteristics
and have speculative characteristics as well.

Ba:  Bonds  rated Ba are judged to have  speculative  elements.  Their  future
cannot be  considered  well-assured.  Often the  protection  of  interest  and
principal  payments may be very moderate and not well safeguarded  during both
good and bad times over the  future.  Uncertainty  of  position  characterizes
bonds in this class.

B: Bonds rated B  generally  lack  characteristics  of  desirable  investment.
Assurance of interest and principal  payments or of maintenance of other terms
of the contract over any long period of time may be small.

Caa:  Bonds rated Caa are of poor  standing and may be in default or there may
be present elements of danger with respect to principal or interest.

Ca:  Bonds rated Ca  represent  obligations  which are  speculative  in a high
degree and are often in default or have other marked shortcomings.

C: Bonds  rated C are the lowest  class of rated  bonds and can be regarded as
having  extremely  poor  prospects  of  ever  attaining  any  real  investment
standing.

Moody's  applies  numerical  modifiers  1,  2,  and 3 in each  generic  rating
classification  from Aa through  Caa.  The  modifier  "1"  indicates  that the
obligation  ranks  in the  higher  end  of  its  category;  the  modifier  "2"
indicates a mid-range  ranking and the modifier "3" indicates a ranking in the
lower end of the category.

            Short-Term Ratings - Taxable Debt

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These ratings apply to the ability of issuers to repay punctually  senior debt
obligations having an original maturity not exceeding one year:

Prime-1:  Issuer has a superior  ability for  repayment  of senior  short-term
debt obligations.

Prime-2:  Issuer has a strong ability for repayment of senior  short-term debt
obligations.  Earnings  trends and  coverage,  while sound,  may be subject to
variation.  Capitalization  characteristics,  while  appropriate,  may be more
affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

Prime-3:  Issuer has an acceptable  ability for repayment of senior short-term
obligations.  The effect of industry  characteristics  and market compositions
may be more pronounced.  Variability in earnings and  profitability may result
in  changes  in the  level of debt  protection  measurements  and may  require
relatively  high  financial   leverage.   Adequate   alternate   liquidity  is
maintained.

Not Prime: Issuer does not fall within any Prime rating category.

Standard & Poor's Rating Services

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Long-Term Credit Ratings

AAA: Bonds rated "AAA" have the highest rating  assigned by Standard & Poor's.
The obligor's  capacity to meet its financial  commitment on the obligation is
extremely strong.

AA: Bonds rated "AA" differ from the highest rated  obligations  only in small
degree.  The  obligor's  capacity  to meet  its  financial  commitment  on the
obligation is very strong.

A:  Bonds  rated "A" are  somewhat  more  susceptible  to  adverse  effects of
changes  in  circumstances   and  economic   conditions  than  obligations  in
higher-rated   categories.   However,  the  obligor's  capacity  to  meet  its
financial commitment on the obligation is still strong.

BBB: Bonds rated BBB exhibit adequate protection parameters.  However, adverse
economic  conditions  or changing  circumstances  are more likely to lead to a
weakened  capacity  of the  obligor to meet its  financial  commitment  on the
obligation.

Bonds  rated  BB,  B,  CCC,  CC  and  C are  regarded  as  having  significant
speculative characteristics.  BB indicates the least degree of speculation and
C the  highest.  While such  obligations  will  likely  have some  quality and
protective characteristics,  these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or
major exposures to adverse conditions.

BB: Bonds rated BB are less  vulnerable to nonpayment  than other  speculative
issues.  However,  these  face  major  uncertainties  or  exposure  to adverse
business,  financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the obligor's
inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

B: A bond rated B is more  vulnerable to nonpayment  than an obligation  rated
BB,  but  the  obligor  currently  has the  capacity  to  meet  its  financial
commitment on the obligation.

CCC: A bond rated CCC is currently vulnerable to nonpayment,  and is dependent
upon favorable  business,  financial,  and economic conditions for the obligor
to meet its financial  commitment on the  obligation.  In the event of adverse
business,  financial or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to have
the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
CC:  An obligation rated CC is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.

C: The C  rating  may  used  where a  bankruptcy  petition  has been  filed or
similar  action has been  taken,  but  payments on this  obligation  are being
continued.

D: Bonds rated D are in  default.  Payments  on the  obligation  are not being
made on the date due.

The ratings  from AA to CCC may be  modified by the  addition of a plus (+) or
minus (-) sign to show relative  standing within the major rating  categories.
The "r" symbol is  attached  to the ratings of  instruments  with  significant
noncredit risks.

            Short-Term Issue Credit Ratings

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A-1:  Rated  in the  highest  category.  The  obligor's  capacity  to meet its
financial  commitment on the  obligation is strong.  Within this  category,  a
plus  (+)  sign  designation  indicates  the  issuer's  capacity  to meet  its
financial obligation is very strong.

A-2:  Obligation  is  somewhat  more  susceptible  to the  adverse  effects of
changes in  circumstances  and economic  conditions than obligations in higher
rating  categories.  However,  the  obligor's  capacity to meet its  financial
commitment on the obligation is satisfactory.

A-3:  Exhibits  adequate  protection  parameters.  However,  adverse  economic
conditions  or  changing  circumstances  are more likely to lead to a weakened
capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

B: Regarded as having  significant  speculative  characteristics.  The obligor
currently  has  the  capacity  to  meet  its   financial   commitment  on  the
obligation.  However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties which could lead to
the  obligor's  inadequate  capacity to meet its  financial  commitment on the
obligation.

C:  Currently  vulnerable  to  nonpayment  and  is  dependent  upon  favorable
business,  financial,  and  economic  conditions  for the  obligor to meet its

financial commitment on the obligation.

D: In payment  default.  Payments on the obligation  have not been made on the
due date. The rating may also be used if a bankruptcy  petition has been filed
or similar actions jeopardize payments on the obligation.

Fitch IBCA, Inc.

International Long-Term Credit Ratings

Investment Grade:

AAA:  Highest Credit Quality.  "AAA" ratings denote the lowest  expectation of
credit  risk.  They  are  assigned  only in the case of  exceptionally  strong
capacity for timely payment of financial commitments.  This capacity is highly
unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.

AA: Very High Credit  Quality.  "AA" ratings denote a very low  expectation of
credit  risk.  They  indicate a very  strong  capacity  for timely  payment of
financial  commitments.  This  capacity  is not  significantly  vulnerable  to
foreseeable events.

A: High Credit  Quality.  "A" ratings denote a low expectation of credit risk.
The  capacity  for  timely  payment of  financial  commitments  is  considered
strong.  This capacity  may,  nevertheless,  be more  vulnerable to changes in
circumstances or in economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.
BBB: Good Credit  Quality.  "BBB"  ratings  indicate that there is currently a
low  expectation  of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial
commitments is considered  adequate,  but adverse changes in circumstances and
in economic  conditions are more likely to impair this  capacity.  This is the
lowest investment-grade category.

Speculative Grade:

BB:  Speculative.  "BB" ratings indicate that there is a possibility of credit
risk  developing,  particularly as the result of adverse  economic change over
time.  However,  business or financial  alternatives may be available to allow

financial commitments to be met.

B: Highly  Speculative.  "B" ratings indicate that significant  credit risk is
present,  but a limited margin of safety  remains.  Financial  commitments are
currently  being met.  However,  capacity for continued  payment is contingent
upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.

CCC, CC C: High  Default  Risk.  Default is a real  possibility.  Capacity for
meeting  financial  commitments  is solely reliant upon  sustained,  favorable
business or economic  developments.  A "CC" rating  indicates  that default of
some kind appears probable. "C" ratings signal imminent default.

DDD, DD, and D: Default.  Securities are not meeting  current  obligations and
are  extremely  speculative.   "DDD"  designates  the  highest  potential  for
recovery of amounts outstanding on any securities involved.

Plus (+) and  minus (-) signs  may be  appended  to a rating  symbol to denote
relative  status  within the  rating  category.  Plus and minus  signs are not
added to the "AAA" category or to categories below "CCC."

International Short-Term Credit Ratings

F1: Highest credit quality.  Strongest  capacity for timely payment.  May have
an added "+" to denote exceptionally strong credit feature.

F2: Good credit  quality.  A  satisfactory  capacity for timely  payment,  but
the margin of safety is not as great as in higher ratings.

F3: Fair credit  quality.  Capacity for timely  payment is adequate.  However,
near-term adverse changes could result in a reduction to non-investment grade.

B:  Speculative.  Minimal capacity for timely payment,  plus  vulnerability to
near-term adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.

C:  High  default  risk.   Default  is  a  real   possibility,   Capacity  for
meeting  financial  commitments is solely reliant upon a sustained,  favorable
business and economic environment.

D:     Default. Denotes actual or imminent payment default.

Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co. Ratings

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Long-Term Debt and Preferred Stock

AAA:  Highest  credit  quality.  The risk factors are  negligible,  being only
slightly more than for risk-free U.S. Treasury debt.

AA+, AA, AA-:  High credit  quality.  Protection  factors are strong.  Risk is
modest but may vary slightly from time to time because of economic conditions.

A+, A & A-:  Protection  factors  are  average  but  adequate.  However,  risk
factors are more variable in periods of greater economic stress.

BBB+,  BBB & BBB-:  Below  average  protection  factors  but still  considered
sufficient  for prudent  investment.  Considerable  variability in risk during
economic cycles.

BB+, BB & BB-: Below  investment  grade but deemed likely to meet  obligations
when due.  Present  or  prospective  financial  protection  factors  fluctuate
according  to  industry  conditions.  Overall  quality  may  move  up or  down
frequently within the category.

B+, B & B-: Below  investment  grade and possessing risk that obligations will
not be met when  due.  Financial  protection  factors  will  fluctuate  widely
according to economic cycles,  industry  conditions  and/or company  fortunes.
Potential  exists for frequent  changes in the rating  within this category or
into a higher of lower rating grade.

CCC:  Well  below  investment-grade   securities.   Considerable   uncertainty
exists as to timely  payment of  principal,  interest or preferred  dividends.
Protection  factors are narrow and risk can be  substantial  with  unfavorable
economic/industry conditions, and/or with unfavorable company developments.

DD:  Defaulted debt  obligations.  Issuer failed to meet  scheduled  principal
and/or interest payments.

DP:  Preferred stock with dividend arrearages.

Short-Term Debt:

            High Grade:

D-1+: Highest certainty of timely payment. Safety is just below risk-free
U.S. Treasury short-term debt.

D-1: Very high certainty of timely payment. Risk factors are minor.

D-1-: High certainty of timely payment. Risk factors are very small.

Good Grade:

D-2: Good certainty of timely payment. Risk factors are small.

Satisfactory Grade:

D-3: Satisfactory liquidity and other protection factors qualify issues as to
investment grade. Risk factors are larger and subject to more variation.

Nevertheless, timely payment is expected.

Non-Investment Grade:

insure against disruption in debt service.

Default:

D-5: Issuer failed to meet scheduled principal and/or interest payments.

        OppenheimerFunds Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      In certain cases,  the initial sales charge that applies to purchases of
Class A shares1 of the  Oppenheimer  funds or the  contingent  deferred  sales
charge  that may apply to Class A,  Class B or Class C shares  may be  waived.
That  is   because   of  the   economies   of  sales   efforts   realized   by
OppenheimerFunds  Distributor,  Inc.,  (referred  to in this  document  as the
"Distributor"),  or by  dealers  or other  financial  institutions  that offer
those shares to certain classes of investors.

      Not all waivers  apply to all funds.  For example,  waivers  relating to
Retirement Plans do not apply to Oppenheimer  municipal funds,  because shares
of those funds are not  available  for purchase by or on behalf of  retirement
plans.  Other  waivers apply only to  shareholders  of certain funds that were
merged into or became Oppenheimer funds.

      For the  purposes  of some of the  waivers  described  below  and in the
Prospectus   and  Statement  of  Additional   Information  of  the  applicable
Oppenheimer  funds, the term  "Retirement  Plan" refers to the following types
of plans:
(1)    plans  qualified  under  Sections  401(a)  or  401(k)  of the  Internal

         Revenue Code,

(2)    non-qualified deferred compensation plans,
(3)    employee benefit plans2
(4)    Group Retirement Plans3
(5)    403(b)(7) custodial plan accounts
(6)    Individual  Retirement Accounts ("IRAs"),  including  traditional IRAs,

         Roth IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs or SIMPLE plans

      The  interpretation  of these  provisions as to the  applicability  of a
special  arrangement or waiver in a particular  case is in the sole discretion
of the  Distributor or the transfer agent (referred to in this document as the
"Transfer  Agent") of the  particular  Oppenheimer  fund.  These  waivers  and
special  arrangements  may  be  amended  or  terminated  at  any  time  by the
applicable a particular fund, the Distributor,  and/or OppenheimerFunds,  Inc.

(referred to in this document as the "Manager").

Waivers  that apply at the time shares are  redeemed  must be requested by the
shareholder and/or dealer in the redemption request.

- --------------
1.    Certain   waivers   also  apply  to  Class  M.  shares  of   Oppenheimer
   Convertible Securities Fund.

2.    An "employee  benefit  plan" means any plan or  arrangement,  whether or
   not it is "qualified"  under the Internal Revenue Code, under which Class A
   shares of an  Oppenheimer  fund or funds are  purchased  by a fiduciary  or
   other  administrator for the account of participants who are employees of a
   single  employer  or  of  affiliated  employers.  These  may  include,  for
   example,  medical  savings  accounts,  payroll  deduction  plans or similar
   plans.  The fund  accounts  must be registered in the name of the fiduciary
   or  administrator  purchasing the shares for the benefit of participants in
   the plan.

3.    The term "Group  Retirement  Plan" means any qualified or  non-qualified

   retirement  plan for  employees of a  corporation  or sole  proprietorship,

   members and employees of a partnership or  association  or other  organized

   group of persons (the members of which may include  other  groups),  if the

   group has made special  arrangements  with the  Distributor and all members

   of the group  participating  in (or who are eligible to participate in) the

   plan  purchase  Class A shares of an  Oppenheimer  fund or funds  through a

   single investment dealer, broker or other financial institution  designated

   by the group.  Such plans  include  457 plans,  SEP-IRAs,  SARSEPs,  SIMPLE

   plans and 403(b) plans other than plans for public  school  employees.  The

   term "Group Retirement Plan" also includes  qualified  retirement plans and

   non-qualified  deferred  compensation  plans and IRAs that purchase Class A

   shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds through a single investment  dealer,

   broker or other financial  institution  that has made special  arrangements

   with the  Distributor  enabling  those plans to purchase  Class A shares at

   net  asset  value but  subject  to the Class A  contingent  deferred  sales
   charge.

I. Applicability of Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charges in Certain Cases

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Purchases  of Class A Shares of  Oppenheimer  Funds  That Are Not  Subject  to
Initial  Sales  Charge but May Be Subject to the Class A  Contingent  Deferred
Sales Charge (unless a waiver applies).

      There is no initial  sales  charge on purchases of Class A shares of any
of the Oppenheimer funds in the cases listed below.  However,  these purchases
may be subject to the Class A  contingent  deferred  sales  charge if redeemed
within  18  months  of the end of the  calendar  month of their  purchase,  as
described  in the  Prospectus  (unless a waiver  described  elsewhere  in this
Appendix applies to the redemption).  Additionally,  on shares purchased under
these  waivers  that are  subject  to the Class A  contingent  deferred  sales
charge,  the Distributor will pay the applicable  commission  described in the
Prospectus under "Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge."4 This      waiver
provision applies to:
o     Purchases of Class A shares aggregating $1 million or more.
o     Purchases  by  a  Retirement  Plan  (other  than  an  IRA  or  403(b)(7)

         custodial plan) that:
(1)   buys shares costing $500,000 or more, or

(2)   has, at the time of purchase,  100 or more  eligible  employees or total
            plan assets of $500,000 or more, or

(3)   certifies  to the  Distributor  that it  projects  to have  annual  plan
            purchases of $200,000 or more.

o     Purchases  by  an   OppenheimerFunds-sponsored   Rollover  IRA,  if  the
         purchases are made:

(1)   through a broker,  dealer,  bank or registered  investment  adviser that
            has made  special  arrangements  with the  Distributor  for  those
            purchases, or

(2)   by a direct rollover of a distribution from a qualified  Retirement Plan
            if the  administrator  of that Plan has made special  arrangements
            with the Distributor for those purchases.

o     Purchases  of Class A shares by  Retirement  Plans  that have any of the
         following record-keeping arrangements:

(1)   The record  keeping is performed by Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith,
            Inc.  ("Merrill  Lynch")  on  a  daily  valuation  basis  for  the
            Retirement   Plan.   On  the  date  the  plan  sponsor  signs  the
            record-keeping  service  agreement  with Merrill  Lynch,  the Plan
            must have $3 million or more of its assets  invested in (a) mutual
            funds,  other than those advised or managed by Merrill Lynch Asset
            Management,  L.P.  ("MLAM"),  that  are  made  available  under  a
            Service  Agreement  between  Merrill  Lynch and the mutual  Fund's
            principal  underwriter  or  distributor,  and (b) funds advised or
            managed by MLAM (the funds  described  in (a) and (b) are referred
            to as "Applicable Investments").
(2)   The record  keeping  for the  Retirement  Plan is  performed  on a daily
            valuation  basis by a record  keeper  whose  services are provided
            under a contract or arrangement  between the  Retirement  Plan and
            Merrill  Lynch.  On the date the plan  sponsor  signs  the  record
            keeping service  agreement with Merrill Lynch,  the Plan must have
            $3 million or more of its assets  (excluding  assets  invested  in
            money market funds) invested in Applicable Investments.
(3)   The record  keeping  for a  Retirement  Plan is handled  under a service
            agreement  with  Merrill  Lynch  and on the date the plan  sponsor
            signs that agreement,  the Plan has 500 or more eligible employees
            (as determined by the Merrill Lynch plan conversion manager).

o     Purchases   by  a   Retirement   Plan   whose   record   keeper   had  a
         cost-allocation  agreement  with the Transfer  Agent on or before May
         1, 1999.

         affiliates,  and  retirement  plans  established  by them  for  their
         employees.  The term  "immediate  family"  refers  to  one's  spouse,

         advisor for the purchase or sale of Fund shares.

o     Investment  advisors  and  financial  planners  who have entered into an
         agreement  for this  purpose with the  Distributor  and who charge an

         purchases.

o     Clients of investment  advisors or financial planners (that have entered

         charge but only if their  accounts are linked to a master  account of
         their  investment  advisor  or  financial  planner  on the  books and
         records of the broker,  agent or  financial  intermediary  with which
         the  Distributor  has made such special  arrangements . Each of these

         investment   advisor  (the   Distributor  must  be  advised  of  this
         arrangement)  and  persons  who  are  directors  or  trustees  of the
         company or trust which is the beneficial owner of such accounts.

o     A unit investment  trust that has entered into an appropriate  agreement
         with the Distributor.

         broker or investment adviser provides administration services.

o     Retirement  Plans and  deferred  compensation  plans and trusts  used to
         fund those plans (including,  for example, plans qualified or created
         under sections 401(a),  401(k), 403(b) or 457 of the Internal Revenue
         Code),  in each case if those  purchases  are made  through a broker,
         agent  or  other  financial   intermediary   that  has  made  special
         arrangements with the Distributor for those purchases.

o     A  TRAC-2000  401(k)  plan  (sponsored  by the  former  Quest  for Value
         Advisors)  whose  Class B or Class C shares  of a  Former  Quest  for

         24, 1995.

o     A qualified  Retirement  Plan that had agreed with the former  Quest for

o     Shares  purchased  and paid for with the proceeds of shares  redeemed in
         the prior 30 days from a mutual fund  (other  than a fund  managed by
         the  Manager or any of its  subsidiaries)  on which an initial  sales
         charge or  contingent  deferred  sales  charge was paid.  This waiver
         also   applies  to  shares   purchased   by  exchange  of  shares  of
         Oppenheimer  Money Market Fund, Inc. that were purchased and paid for
         in this  manner.  This waiver  must be  requested  when the  purchase
         order is  placed  for  shares of the Fund,  and the  Distributor  may
         require evidence of qualification for this waiver.
o     Shares  purchased with the proceeds of maturing  principal  units of any
         Qualified Unit Investment Liquid Trust Series.

o     Shares   purchased  by  the   reinvestment   of  loan  repayments  by  a

         affiliate acts as sponsor.

C.  Waivers  of the Class A  Contingent  Deferred  Sales  Charge  for  Certain
Redemptions.

The Class A  contingent  deferred  sales  charge is also waived if shares that
would  otherwise  be  subject  to the  contingent  deferred  sales  charge are
redeemed in the following cases:

         no more than 12% of the account  value  measured at the time the Plan
         is established, adjusted annually.

o     Involuntary  redemptions  of shares by operation  of law or  involuntary

o     For distributions from Retirement Plans,  deferred compensation plans or
         other employee benefit plans for any of the following purposes:

      These  arrangements  also apply to  shareholders  of the following funds

November 24, 1995:

Quest for Value U.S.  Government Income Quest  for  Value  New York  Tax-Exempt

                                        Fund

      All of the funds listed  above are  referred to in this  Appendix as the
"Former  Quest for  Value  Funds."  The  waivers  of  initial  and  contingent
deferred  sales  charges  described  in this  Appendix  apply to  shares of an
Oppenheimer fund that are either:
o     acquired  by such  shareholder  pursuant  to an exchange of shares of an

         Oppenheimer fund that was one of the Former Quest for Value Funds or
o     purchased  by  such   shareholder  by  exchange  of  shares  of  another

         Oppenheimer fund that were acquired  pursuant to the merger of any of
         the Former Quest for Value Funds into that other  Oppenheimer fund on
         November 24, 1995.

A.  Reductions or Waivers of Class A Sales Charges.

      |X| Reduced Class A Initial Sales Charge Rates for Certain  Former Quest

Purchases  by Groups  and  Associations.  The  following  table sets forth the
initial  sales  charge  rates for  Class A  shares  purchased  by  members  of
"Associations"  formed for any purpose other than the purchase of  securities.
The rates in the table apply if that  Association  purchased  shares of any of
the Former  Quest for Value  Funds or  received a proposal  to  purchase  such
shares from OCC Distributors prior to November 24, 1995.

members,  there is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares, but
those  shares are  subject to the Class A  contingent  deferred  sales  charge
described in the applicable Fund's Prospectus.

      Purchases  made under this  arrangement  qualify for the lower of either
the sales  charge  rate in the table  based on the  number  of  members  of an
Association,  or the  sales  charge  rate  that  applies  under  the  Right of
Accumulation  described in the applicable  Fund's  Prospectus and Statement of
Additional  Information.  Individuals  who qualify under this  arrangement for
reduced  sales  charge  rates as members  of  Associations  also may  purchase
shares for their  individual  or  custodial  accounts at these  reduced  sales
charge rates, upon request to the Distributor.

      |X| Waiver of Class A Sales  Charges for Certain  Shareholders.  Class A
shares  purchased by the  following  investors  are not subject to any Class A
initial or contingent deferred sales charges:

1995. In the following  cases,  the  contingent  deferred sales charge will be

o     liquidation of a shareholder's  account if the aggregate net asset value
         of  shares  held in the  account  is less than the  required  minimum

deferred sales charge will be waived for  redemptions  of Class A,  Class B or
Class C shares of an  Oppenheimer  fund. The shares must have been acquired by
the merger of a Former Quest for Value Fund into the fund or by exchange  from
an Oppenheimer  fund that was a Former Quest For Value Fund or into which such
Former Quest for Value Fund merged.  Those shares must have been  purchased on
or after March 6, 1995, but prior to November 24, 1995:

o     liquidation of a shareholder's  account if the aggregate net asset value
         of  shares  held in the  account  is less than the  required  minimum

contingent deferred sales charge paid on the redemption of any Class A,  Class
B or Class C shares of the  Oppenheimer  fund described in this section if the
proceeds  are  invested  in the same  Class of  shares in that fund or another
Oppenheimer fund within 90 days after redemption.

sales  charge on an amount  equal to the current  market value or the original
purchase price of the shares sold,  whichever is smaller (in such redemptions,
any shares not subject to the prior Class A CDSC will be redeemed first).

         hold those  shares in that Fund or other  Former  Connecticut  Mutual
         Funds, and

(2)   persons whose intended  purchases under a Statement of Intention entered

         the Former  Connecticut  Mutual  Funds to purchase  shares  valued at
         $500,000 or more over a 13-month  period  entitled  those  persons to
         purchase  shares at net asset  value  without  being  subject  to the
         Class A initial sales charge.

Any of the Class A shares of a Fund and the other  Former  Connecticut  Mutual
Funds that were  purchased at net asset value prior to March 18, 1996,  remain
subject to the prior Class A CDSC, or if any  additional  shares are purchased
by those  shareholders  at net asset value pursuant to this  arrangement  they
will be subject to the prior Class A CDSC.

      n Class A Sales  Charge  Waivers.  Additional  Class A shares  of a Fund

         Combined   Purchases,   Statement   of   Intention   and   Rights  of
         Accumulation  features  available at the time of the initial purchase

(3)   Directors  of the  Fund or any one or  more  of the  Former  Connecticut
         Mutual Funds and members of their immediate families;

(5)   one or more  members of a group of at least 1,000  persons  (and persons
         who are  retirees  from such  group)  engaged  in a common  business,

         spouses and minor dependent  children of such persons,  pursuant to a
         marketing program between CMFS and such group; and

charge by any holder of a variable  annuity  contract issued in New York State

Item 24.    Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with Registrant

- ----------

            None

Item 25.    Indemnification

- ----------  --------------------

      Article IV of  Registrant's  Declaration of Trust filed as Exhibit 23(a)
to this Registration Statement,
generally   provides,   among  other  things,   for  the   indemnification  of
Registrant's  Trustees and officers in a manner consistent with Securities and
Exchange Commission Release No. IC-11330.

      Insofar as indemnification  for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees,  officers and controlling persons of
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing  provisions or otherwise,  Registrant has
been advised that in the opinion of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission,
such  indemnification  is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and is,  therefore,  unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification   against  such   liabilities   (other  than  the  payment  by
Registrant of expenses  incurred or paid by a trustee,  officer or controlling
person  of  Registrant  in the  successful  defense  of any  action,  suit  or
proceeding)  is  asserted  by such  trustee,  officer or  controlling  person,
Registrant  will,  unless in the  opinion of its  counsel  the matter has been
settled  by   controlling   precedent,   submit  to  a  court  of  appropriate
jurisdiction  the  question  whether  such  indemnification  by it is  against
public policy as expressed in the  Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
