HOW YOUR FUND IS MANAGED
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oppenheimer Fund seeks capital appreciation and income consistent with growth
in capital. It uses a combination of five distinct investment styles, which can
also help manage risk.

          The Fund's managers invest in stocks of established U.S. and
international companies they believe have excellent potential for growth. They
use a "value" approach, which empha-sizes undervalued companies; a "contrarian"
approach, which seizes opportunities in out-of-favor industries they believe to
be poised for rebound; and a "growth" approach, which seeks companies the
managers believe have above-average growth rates.

          International and high-yield stocks serve as risk-reduction sectors.
The Fund's managers seek balance from international stocks and income from high
yield stocks and bonds to help cushion the portfolio against fluctuations in
the U.S. stock market.

PERFORMANCE
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total return at net asset value for the six months ended 12/31/95 was 7.68% for
Class A shares and 7.13% for Class C shares.(1)

          Your Fund's average annual total returns at maximum offering price
for Class A shares for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year periods ended 12/31/95 were
17.08%, 13.59% and 9.13%, respectively.  For Class C shares, average annual
total returns for the 1-year period ended 12/31/95 and since inception of the
Class on 12/1/93 were 22.07% and 11.50%, respectively.(2)

OUTLOOK
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Our outlook remains optimistic. The domestic market has performed very well
over the past year, and even though it has reached record highs, we expect it
to continue to provide solid opportunities to diversified investors like
ourselves."

Total returns include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and
capital gains distributions. Past performance does not guarantee future
results. Investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund
will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more
or less than the original cost. For more complete information, please review
the prospectus carefully before you invest.

1. Based on the change in net asset value per share for the period shown,
without deducting any sales charges. Such performance would have been lower if
sales charges were taken into account.

2. Class A returns show results of hypothetical investments on 12/31/94,
12/31/90 and 12/31/85, after deducting the current maximum initial sales charge
of 5.75%. Class A shares were first publicly offered on 4/30/59. Class C
returns show results of hypothetical investments on 12/31/94 and 12/1/93
(inception of class), with the 1% contingent deferred sales charge deducted for
the 1-year result. The Fund's maximum sales charge rate for Class A shares was
higher during a portion of some of the periods shown, and actual investment
results will be different as a result of the change. Class B performance is not
shown above because shares were first publicly offered on 11/1/95. An
explanation of the different performance calculations is in the Fund's
prospectus.

Dear OppenheimerFunds Shareholder,

The U.S. stock market put on quite a show in 1995 with the Dow Jones Industrial
Average breaking the 5000 barrier. During 1995, conditions were ideal for
rising stock prices. The economy grew fast enough to generate strong corporate
profits--but not so fast as to rekindle inflation. And intermediate-and
long-term interest rates fell sharply, as investors anticipated that the
Federal Reserve Board had shifted from its restrictive monetary policy of the
prior year.

      Leading the rally on Wall Street for much of the year were technology
stocks. Even after a bumpy Fall, many stocks in semiconductors, computers,
software and telecommunications doubled during the year. The global demand for
these products--developed and manufactured by American companies--continued
unabated.

      The reduction in the rate of growth of health care expenditures is just
one reason why inflation remains moderate. Another reason is the plentiful
supply of inexpensive energy. In addition, the emergence of capitalism
throughout the world has created a global economy of new markets and new
competitors, dampening prices and labor costs. And after many years of promise,
technology has finally created efficiencies in the business environment.

      But the primary fuel to stock prices came from corporate profits, which
have been surging in the past few years, due in large part to a rise in U.S.
corporate productivity. The determination of Corporate America to be successful
in today's highly competitive markets has led to a strategy of tight cost
control with an emphasis on efficiency. With a global boom in technology and a
weak dollar in the first half of the year--which made U.S. goods more
attractive overseas--corporate earnings and profitability have remained very
strong, growing about 20% between 1994 and 1995.

      With the Dow less than 1000 just 15 years ago and only 2500 five years
ago, it's clear that the stock market's advance has been tremendous. So the
question remains, "Is the case for stocks still strong?"

      Certainly, market volatility would be expected at this point in a five
year bull market, especially since there hasn't been a "normal correction" of
10% or more since 1990. And the slowdown in the economy is likely to translate
into soft profit growth this year.

      But the underlying economic conditions that have driven stocks thus
far--moderate growth with low inflation, falling interest rates, and a
Corporate America that's committed to increased efficiency--remain in place.
Additionally, there is increasing demand for U.S. exports in light of expanding
international economies, as well as the increasing belief that U.S.
technologies lead the world. As a result, we believe that the stock market
continues to offer a good value for investors.  But, realistically, we don't
expect another year like 1995 any time soon.

      Your portfolio manager discusses the outlook for your Fund in light of
these broad issues on the following pages. Thank you for your confidence in
OppenheimerFunds, and we look forward to helping you reach your investment
goals in the future.

Q + A


Q   What
do you
look for in
stocks?

An interview with your Fund's managers.

HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS?

The Fund has performed very well over the period. Because history shows that
different types of securities perform better at different times, we always
employ five complementary investment strategies in selecting stocks for the
portfolio. This broad diversification across stock sectors and investment
styles has been quite successful over time--allowing us to turn in another
period of extremely solid results with lower than average risk.

WHAT ARE THE PRIMARY REASONS FOR THE FUND'S POSITIVE PERFORMANCE?

Our performance was driven primarily by our holdings in domestic stocks. Over
the period, we had large positions in two of the top-performing sectors of the
market, technology and healthcare. Both of these areas outperformed the market
due to expectations for continued strong earnings in what has become a
slower-growing economy.(1)

WERE THERE ANY INVESTMENTS THAT DIDN'T PERFORM AS WELL AS EXPECTED?

Though we believe they will outperform the U.S. over time, foreign stocks
performed relatively poorly over the past six months.  Growth in Europe is
currently slow, and interest rates there haven't declined as quickly as
expected, which held markets back. In Japan, we believe there is again great
potential, but it hasn't translated into returns yet.

WHAT AREAS ARE YOU CURRENTLY TARGETING?

For the past several months, high quality growth stocks
have been the place to be. These companies, such as brand name consumer
products, pharmaceuticals and

food and beverage makers, should continue to benefit as the economy matures.
Because of the steady nature of their sales, we believe investors will be drawn
to these companies throughout 1996, when the economy is likely to grow at a
slower pace.

      We've also continued to increase our exposure to foreign markets. Even
though there are additional risks and costs with foreign investing, such as the
risk of adverse currency fluctuation, we think foreign investing makes sense.
With populations that are less mature and with many primary needs yet to be
satisfied, foreign markets should grow faster than the U.S. over time. We're
taking advantage of this time of relatively low stock prices as an opportunity
to buy the companies we think have the best competitive advantages for future
growth.

      In addition, we're increasing our positions in some of our top holdings
at this time--companies with stock prices we consider low for the value of the
company and with managements that are maintaining a tight rein on costs. Beyond
that, we're always looking for opportunities to buy stocks that are temporarily
out of favor but have dominant market positions and strong balance sheets.

      In order to make these investments, we've been selling some of the
domestic stocks that have done well for us in this year's strong market. Our
sales have primarily been in the areas of technology and financial services
stocks, where we've been able to sell into strength and realize gains.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?

Our outlook remains optimistic. The domestic market has performed very well
over the past year, and even though it has reached record highs, we expect it
to continue to provide solid opportunities to diversified investors like
ourselves. While corporate earnings rates are likely to slow from what we've
seen over the past two years, we believe they will remain strong--and continued
low interest rates should bode well for prices of both stocks and bonds.
Outside of the U.S., our foreign holdings offer both solid potential on their
own and an opportunity for strategic diversification.  /X/

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS    (Unaudited)

================================================================================
1. SIGNIFICANT
   ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Oppenheimer Fund (the Fund) is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The
Fund's investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund's
investment advisor is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager). The Fund offers
Class A, Class B and Class C shares.  Class A shares are sold with a front-end
sales charge. Class B and Class C shares may be subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge. All classes of shares have identical rights to earnings,
assets and voting privileges, except that each class has its own distribution
and/or service plan, expenses directly attributable to a particular class and
exclus ive voting rights with respect to matters affecting a single class. The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed
by the Fund.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INVESTMENT VALUATION. Portfolio securities are valued at the close of the New
York Stock Exchange on each trading day. Listed and unlisted securities for
which such information is regularly reported are valued at the last sale price
of the day or, in the absence of sales, at values based on the closing bid or
asked price or the last sale price on the prior trading day. Long-term and
short-term ``non-money market'' debt securities are valued by a portfolio
pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Such securities which cannot
be valued by the approved portfolio pricing service are valued using
dealer-supplied valuations provided the Manager is satisfied that the firm
rendering the quotes is reliable and that the quotes reflect current market
value, or are valued under consistently applied procedures established by the
Board of Trustees to determine fair value in good faith. Short-term ``money
market type'' debt securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less
are valued at cost (or last determined market value) adjusted for amortization
to maturity of any premium or discount. Forward foreign currency exchange
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 or asked price closest to the last reported sale price is used.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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 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 p rice at the time of purchase. If
the seller of the agreement defaults and the value of the collateral declines,
or if the seller enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the value of
the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALLOCATION OF INCOME, EXPENSES, AND GAINS AND LOSSES. Income, expenses (other
than those attributable to a specific class) and gains and losses are allocated
daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets
represented by such class.  Operating expenses directly attributable to a
specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

================================================================================
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.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRUSTEES' FEES AND EXPENSES. The Fund has adopted a nonfunded retirement plan
for the Fund's independent trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and
fees paid to each trustee during the years of service. During the six months
ended December 31, 1995, a provision of $10,438 was made for the Fund's
projected benefit obligations, resulting i n an accumulated liability of
$74,422 at December 31, 1995.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are
reported on the ex-dividend date.

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

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER. Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the investments
are purchased or sold (trade date) and dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend date. 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.

       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 a nd expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

================================================================================
3. UNREALIZED GAINS AND
   LOSSES ON INVESTMENTS AND
   OPTIONS WRITTEN

At December 31, 1995, net unrealized appreciation on investments and options
written of $68,399,087 was composed of gross appreciation of $78,450,235, and
gross depreciation of $10,051,148.

================================================================================
4. OPTION ACTIVITY

The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write covered put and call
options on portfolio securities in order to produce incremental earnings or
protect against changes in the value of portfolio securities.

       The Fund generally purchases put options or writes covered call
options to hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings.
When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to
sell or purchase the underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the
option.

       Options are valued daily based upon the last sale price on the
principal exchange on which the option is traded and unrealized appreciation or
depreciation is recorded. The Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the
expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an option is exercised,
the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a
written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call
option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.

       Securities designated to cover outstanding call options are
noted in the Statement of Investments where applicable.  Shares subject to
call, expiration date, exercise price, premium received and market value are
detailed in a footnote to the Statement of Investments. Options written are
reported as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Gains and
losses are reported in the Statement of Operations.

       The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the
opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the
option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may
incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is
exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether
or not the option is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk of not
being able to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market
does not exist.

Written option activity for the six months ended December 31, 1995 was as
follows:

5. MANAGEMENT FEES AND
   OTHER TRANSACTIONS
   WITH AFFILIATES
   (CONTINUED)

OppenheimerFunds Services (OFS), a division of the Manager, is the transfer and
shareholder servicing agent for the Fund, and for other registered investment
companies. OFS's total costs of providing such services are allocated ratably
to these companies.
       
       Under separate approved plans, each class may expend up to .25% of its
net assets annually to compensate OFDI for costs incurred in connection with the
personal service and maintenance of accounts that hold shares of the Fund,
including amounts paid to brokers, dealers, banks and other institutions. In
addition, Class B and Class C shares are subject to an asset-based sales charge
of .75% of net assets annually, to compensate OFDI for sales commissions paid
from its own resources at the time of sale and associated financing costs. In
the event of termination or discontinuance of the Class B or Class C plan, the
Board of Trustees may allow the Fund to continue payment of the asset-b ased
sales charge to OFDI for distribution expenses incurred on Class B or Class C
shares sold prior to termination or discontinuance of the plan. At December 31,
1995, OFDI had incurred unreimbursed expenses of $4,760 for Class B and $60,781
for Class C. During the six months ended December 31, 1995, OFDI paid $2,297 to
an affiliated broker/deale r as compensation for Class A personal service and
maintenance expenses, and retained $10,766 as compensation for Class C sales
commissions and service fee advances, as well as financing costs. 

================================================================================
6. 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 ag ainst 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.

At December 31, 1995, the Fund had outstanding forward contracts to sell
currencies as follows:
