OPPENHEIMER QUEST CAPITAL VALUE FUND, INC.
Supplement Dated July 31, 1997
to the Statement of Additional Information dated March 3, 1997
The Statement of Additional Information is amended as follows:
The section captioned "Performance of the Fund" on page 26 is
revised by replacing the subsections captioned "Cumulative Total
Returns" and "Total Returns at Net Asset Value" with the following:
Cumulative Total Returns. 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:
ERV-P = Total Return
P
In calculating total returns for Class A shares, the current
maximum sales charge of 5.75% (as a percentage of the offering
price) is deducted from the initial investment ("P") (unless the
return is shown at net asset value, as described below). Prior to
the date hereof, the Fund operated as a closed-end investment
company and no initial sales charge was imposed on Fund shares.
Total returns also assume that all dividends and capital gains
distributions during the period are reinvested to buy additional
shares at net asset value per share, and that the investment is
redeemed at the end of the period. As discussed above, total
returns for Class A shares have been adjusted to reflect the fees
and expenses of such Class of shares in effect as of the date
thereof without giving effect to any fee waivers.
The "average annual total returns" on an investment in Class
A shares of the Fund (using the method described above) for the one
year and five year periods ended December 31, 1996 and for the
period from February 13, 1987 (commencement of operations) to
December 31, 1996 (all of which preceded the open-end conversion)
were 11.45%, 14.20% and 15.58%, respectively. The cumulative total
return on the Fund's Class A shares for the period from February
13, 1987 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 1996 was
318.46%.
Total Returns at Net Asset Value. From time to time the
Fund may also quote an "average annual total return at net asset
value" or a "cumulative total return at net asset value" 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.
The average annual total return at net asset value for Class
A shares for the one and five year periods ended December 31, 1996
and for the period from February 13, 1987 through December 31, 1996
were 18.25%, 15.56% and 16.28%, respectively. The cumulative total
return at net asset value on the Fund's Class A shares for the
period from February 13, 1987 (commencement of operations) to
December 31, 1996 was 343.99%.
