This Fund is for people who want the kind of SUBSTANTIAL GROWTH available only
through fast-growing small companies.

HOW YOUR FUND IS MANAGED

Oppenheimer Quest Small Cap Value Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing
in stocks of small-cap companies that are believed to be priced below their
true worth. By identifying and investing in small company stocks believed to
be priced below their actual worth, the Fund seeks to capitalize on the
attractive growth potential of these stocks. This value philosophy offers the
potential for significant long-term growth.

      Your Fund's average annual total returns for Class A shares for the 1-
and 5-year periods ended 9/30/96 and since inception on 1/3/89 were 6.15%,
12.02% and 12.03%, respectively.

9/30/96 and since inception on 9/1/93 were 11.04% and 8.58%, respectively.(2)

OUTLOOK

"Our outlook for the Fund remains strong. We've built a solid portfolio of
small-cap stocks based on meticulous research of companies that we believe have
superior returns on capital at reasonable valuations."

Total returns include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and
capital gains distributions in a hypothetical investment for the periods shown.
IN REVIEWING PERFORMANCE AND RANKINGS, PLEASE REMEMBER THAT 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. The Fund's
Sub-Adviser is OpCap Advisors (formerly Quest for Value Advisors, the Fund's
adviser until 11/22/95).

(1). Includes change in net asset value per share without deducting any sales
charges. Such performance is not annualized and would have been lower if sales
charges were taken into account.
(2). Class A returns include the current maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%.
Class A shares were first publicly offered on 1/3/89. The Fund's maximum sales
charge rate for Class A shares was lower prior to 11/22/95, so actual results
would have been greater. Class B returns include the applicable contingent
deferred sales charge of 5% (1-year) and 3% (since inception). Class C returns
include the 1% contingent deferred sales charge for the 1-year result. An
explanation of the different total returns is in the Fund's prospectus. Class B
and C shares are subject to an annual .75% asset-based sales charge and Class A
shares are subject to an annual .25% asset-based sales charge.

Dear Shareholder,


Following a summer of uncertainty surrounding the economy and the stock market,
the arrival of fall brought renewed vigor to both.  Most notable, the Dow Jones
Industrial Average broke out of its fluctuating pattern and burst through the
once-unimaginable 6,000 mark, sending many stock prices to all-time highs. But
as the Dow began accelerating faster than the economy, a debate erupted about
how long this bull run could last.

      Looking back, the autumn rally was clearly a result of three main
factors: solid corporate profits, low inflation and stabilized interest rates,
all of which attracted investors to Wall Street. And though the stock market is
currently highly valued, there continue to be a number of positive economic
influences that may extend the market's uphill run.

      We consider the leading catalyst to be the robust returns from corporate
America, where a strong economy boosted third-quarter earnings. To date, we're
still witnessing a cycle of events that could maintain the appeal of these
companies to investors. For example, corporate streamlining efforts, such as
spinoffs of non-core businesses, and consolidation within industries are
helping to increase the cash flow of many firms. In return, additional cash
flows enable these companies to add shareholder value by initiating stock
repurchasing programs. As corporations buy back record amounts of their own
stocks, they are reducing the supply and thereby raising the book value of
their outstanding shares, a move which further contributes to higher stock
prices.

      Additionally, the demand for stocks remains strong, largely because, as
many experts believe, investors are taking more responsibility for their
retirement investments. Indeed, as the country's baby boomers near retirement,
they are becoming increasingly aware of the need to secure their own financial
future, because they expect less and less from standard company pensions or
Social Security. As a result, equity mutual funds have become the fastest
growing means by which these investors are seeking to achieve their long-term
goals.

      While these signs appear favorable for many well-managed companies, stock
valuations remain at historically high levels, causing us to become more
cautious about the market overall. We do not, however, expect to see a
significant market decline.  In fact, we are confident that as long as
corporate earnings stay healthy, there will continue to be numerous investment
opportunities available to fill the demand for stocks. Nevertheless, it is
becoming more difficult to uncover true values and justify higher prices.
Therefore, we believe the correct approach to take at this point is to
carefully evaluate companies based on individual merits, such as strong
management, fundamental business policies and long-term prospects for the
future.

      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. We look forward to helping you reach your investment goals in
the future.

Q + A

An interview with your Fund's managers.


HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED OVER THE PAST YEAR?

While the small-cap market has had its share of ups and downs over the past
year, we were pleased with the Fund's performance during this time. Oppenheimer
Quest Small Cap Value Fund's total return at net asset value was 12.62% for the
12 months ended September 30, 1996,1 compared with 11.60% for its benchmark,
the Russell 2000 Small Stock Index.(2)

WHAT CHARACTERISTICS DO YOU LOOK FOR WHEN EVALUATING STOCKS?

Using our long-held, bottom-up investment philosophy that emphasizes intensive
research, we look for strong individual companies that are currently
undervalued in the market. Specifically, we look for businesses led by
management teams focused on maximizing shareholder value. In addition, these
companies should have a history of above-average investment  returns and
display the ability to generate substantial cash flows.

WHAT INVESTMENTS MADE POSITIVE CONTRIBUTIONS TO PERFORMANCE?

A telecommunications company performed very well over the period, responding to
the growth of the market. We purchased these shares when they were undervalued,
and since then, the company has benefited from the interest surrounding the
Internet. As more people began "surfing the net," it became apparent to the
telecommunications industry that better systems were needed to handle the
growing demand.

      Another profitable investment during the past six months was a top
producer of sheets and towels. Over the last few years, the company utilized
much of its capital to improve its operations. As a result, it now leads the
industry in market share, as well as operating earnings margin.(3)

DID ANY INVESTMENTS OR MARKET FACTORS HURT THE FUND OVER THE PERIOD?

Two of our larger positions, which were in the healthcare industry, failed to
meet our expectations this year, after positive returns in 1995. However,
although the performance of these stocks seems to reflect the lower returns of
small-cap stocks in the healthcare industry overall, we still view them as
attractive investments. These two companies are undergoing positive transitions
by restructuring their businesses and streamlining their operations. So, while
the stock prices of these two firms do not reflect their full potential, we
expect that they will in the future.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?

Our outlook for the Fund remains strong. We've built a solid portfolio of
small-cap stocks based on meticulous research of companies that we believe have
superior returns on capital at reasonable valuations. Therefore, we remain
confident that this approach will ensure good long-term performance, despite
near-term market fluctuations.



1. Includes change in net asset value per share without deducting any sales
charges. Such performance is not annualized and would have been lower if sales
charges were taken into account.
2. The Fund's investments are not limited to securities in the Russell 2000,
which cannot be purchased directly by investors. The Russell 2000 Index is a
capitalization-weighted index of 2,000 U.S. issuers whose common stocks are
traded on the New York and American Stock Exchanges and NASDAQ.
3. The Fund's portfolio is subject to change.

1. SIGNIFICANT
   ACCOUNTING POLICIES

                           Oppenheimer Quest Small Cap Value Fund (the Fund),
                           formerly named Quest for Value Small Capitalization
                           Fund, a series of Oppenheimer Quest for Value Funds,
                           is 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 capital appreciation through investments
                           in a diversified portfolio which under normal
                           conditions will have at least 65% of its assets
                           invested in equity securities of companies with
                           market capitalizations under $1 billion. On November
                           22, 1995, OCC Distributors (previously Quest for
                           Value Distributors), OpCap Advisors (previously
                           Quest for Value Advisors) and their parent
                           Oppenheimer Capital consummated a transaction with
                           OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager), which resulted
                           in the sale to the Manager of certain mutual fund
                           assets of OCC Distributors and OpCap Advisors
                           including the transfer of Quest for Value Funds and
                           the use of the name "Quest for Value." As part of
                           the transaction, the Fund entered into an investment
                           advisory agreement with the Manager and the Manager
                           entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OpCap
                           Advisors (the former Manager). The Fund offers Class
                           A, Class B and Class C shares. Class A shares are
                           sold with a front-end sales charge. Class B and
                           Class C shares may be subject to a contingent
                           deferred sales charge. All three classes of shares
                           have identical rights to earnings, assets and voting
                           privileges, except that each class has its own
                           distribution and/or service plan, expenses directly
                           attributable to a particular class and exclusive
                           voting rights with respect to matters affecting a
                           single class. 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 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.
                           -----------------------------------------------------
                           ALLOCATION OF INCOME, EXPENSES, AND GAINS AND
                           LOSSES. Income, expenses (other than those
                           attributable to a specific class) and gains and
                           losses are allocated daily to each class of shares
                           based upon the relative proportion of net assets
                           represented by such class. Operating expenses
                           directly attributable to a specific class are
                           charged against the operations of that class.
                           -----------------------------------------------------
                           FEDERAL TAXES. The Fund intends to continue to
                           comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
                           applicable to regulated investment companies and to
                           distribute all of its taxable income, including any
                           net realized gain on investments not offset by loss
                           carryovers, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal
                           income or excise tax provision is required.
                           -----------------------------------------------------
                           DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends and
                           distributions to shareholders are recorded 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. The character of the distributions made
                           during the year from net investment income or net
                           realized gains may differ from their ultimate
                           characterization for federal income tax purposes.
                           Also, due to timing of dividend distributions, the
                           fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may
                           differ from the year that the income or realized
                           gain (loss) was recorded by the Fund.

                                        During the year ended October 31, 1996,
                           the Fund adjusted the classification of net
                           investment income and capital gain (loss) to reflect
                           the differences between financial statement amounts
                           and distributions determined in accordance with
                           income tax regulations. Accordingly, during the year
                           ended October 31, 1996, amounts have been
                           reclassified to reflect a decrease in accumulated
                           net realized gain on investments of $31,296. Net
                           investment income was decreased by the same amount.

   ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   (CONTINUED)

                           OTHER. Investment transactions are accounted for on
                           the date the investments are purchased or sold
                           (trade date) and dividend income is recorded on the
                           ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses on
                           investments and unrealized appreciation and
                           depreciation are determined on an identified cost
                           basis, which is the same basis used for federal
                           income tax purposes.

                                        The preparation of financial statements
                           in conformity with generally accepted accounting
                           principles requires management to make estimates and
                           assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
                           assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
                           assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
                           statements and the reported amounts of income and
                           expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
                           could differ from those estimates.

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 1.00% on
                           the first $400 million of average annual net assets,
                           0.90% on the next $400 million and 0.85% on net
                           assets in excess of $800 million. Prior to November
                           22, 1995, management fees were paid to the former
                           Manager at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund's
                           average net assets. The Manager has agreed to
                           reimburse the Fund if aggregate expenses (with
                           specified exceptions) exceed the most stringent
                           applicable regulatory limit on Fund expenses. The
                           Manager acts as the accounting agent for the Fund at
                           an annual fee of $55,000, plus out-of-pocket costs
                           and expenses reasonably incurred. Prior to November
                           22, 1995, accounting service fees were paid monthly
                           to the former Manager.

                                        Effective November 22, 1995, the
                           Manager pays OpCap Advisors (the Sub-Adviser) based
                           on the fee schedule set forth in the Prospectus. For
                           the period ended October 31, 1996, the Manager paid
                           $581,663 to the Sub-Adviser.

                                        For the year ended October 31, 1996,
                           commissions (sales charges paid by investors) on
                           sales of Class A shares totaled $297,166, of which
                           $115,180 was retained by OppenheimerFunds
                           Distributor, Inc. (OFDI), a subsidiary of the
                           Manager, as general distributor, and by affiliated
                           broker/dealers. Sales charges advanced to
                           broker/dealers by OFDI on sales of the Fund's Class
                           B and Class C shares totaled $317,703 and $58,943,
                           of which $5,034 was paid to an affiliated
                           broker/dealer for Class B. During the year ended
                           October 31, 1996, OFDI received contingent deferred
                           sales charges of $99,115 and $3,583, 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.

4. 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. The Fund pays OFS an annual
                           maintenance fee of $14.85 for each Fund shareholder
                           account and reimburses OFS for its out-of-pocket
                           expenses. During the period ended October 31, 1996,
                           the Fund paid OFS $169,511.

                                        The Fund has adopted a Distribution and
                           Service Plan for Class A shares to compensate OFDI
                           for a portion of its costs incurred in connection
                           with the personal service and maintenance of
                           accounts that hold Class A shares. Under the Plan,
                           the Fund pays an annual asset-based sales charge to
                           OFDI of 0.25% per year on Class A shares. The Fund
                           also pays a service fee to OFDI of 0.25% per year.
                           Both fees are computed on the average annual net
                           assets of Class A shares of the Fund, determined as
                           of the close of each regular business day. OFDI uses
                           all of the service fee and a portion of the
                           asset-based sales charge to compensate brokers,
                           dealers, banks and other financial institutions
                           quarterly for providing personal service and
                           maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold
                           Class A shares. OFDI retains the balance of the
                           asset-based sales charge to reimburse itself for its
                           other expenditures under the Plan. During the period
                           ended October 31, 1996, OFDI paid $1,102 to an
                           affiliated broker/dealer as compensation for Class A
                           personal service and maintenance expenses.

                                        The Fund has adopted compensation type
                           Distribution and Service Plans for Class B and Class
                           C shares to compensate OFDI for its services and
                           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, as compensation
                           for sales commissions paid from its own resources at
                           the time of sale and associated financing costs. If
                           the Plans are terminated by the Fund, the Board of
                           Trustees may allow the Fund to continue payments of
                           the asset-based sales charge to OFDI for certain
                           expenses it incurred before the Plans were
                           terminated. OFDI also receives a service fee of
                           0.25% per year as compensation 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
                           financial institutions. Both fees are computed on
                           the average annual net assets of Class B and Class C
                           shares, determined as of the close of each regular
                           business day. During the year ended October 31,
                           1996, OFDI retained $206,892 and $65,837,
                           respectively, as compensation for Class B and Class
                           C sales commissions and service fee advances, as
                           well as financing costs. At October 31, 1996, OFDI
                           had incurred unreimbursed expenses of $82,925 for
                           Class B and $36,379 for Class C.

5. ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED
   SECURITIES

                           At October 31, 1996, 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 from time to time) 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 at October 31,
                           1996 was $3,437,853, which represents 2.34% of the
                           Fund's net assets. Information concerning restricted
                           securities is as follows:

                           REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

================================================================================
                           To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
                           Oppenheimer Quest Small Cap Value Fund

                           In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets
                           and liabilities, including the statement of
                           investments, and the related statements of
                           operations and of changes in net assets and the
                           financial highlights present fairly, in all material
                           respects, the financial position of Oppenheimer
                           Quest Small Cap Value Fund (formerly Quest for Value
                           Small Capitalization Fund, one of the portfolios
                           constituting Oppenheimer Quest for Value Funds,
                           formerly Quest for Value Family of Funds, hereafter
                           referred to as the Fund) at October 31, 1996, the
                           results of its operations for the year then ended,
                           the changes in its net assets for each of the two
                           years in the period then ended and the financial
                           highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity
                           with generally accepted accounting principles. These
                           financial statements and financial highlights
                           (hereafter referred to as financial statements) are
                           the responsibility of the Fund's management; our
                           responsibility is to express an opinion on these
                           financial statements based on our audits. We
                           conducted our audits of these financial statements
                           in accordance with generally accepted auditing
                           standards which require that we plan and perform the
                           audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
                           the financial statements are free of material
                           misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
                           basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
                           disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
                           the accounting principles used and significant
                           estimates made by management, and evaluating the
                           overall financial statement presentation. We believe
                           that our audits, which included confirmation of
                           securities at October 31, 1996 by correspondence
                           with the custodian and the application of
                           alternative auditing procedures for unsettled
                           security transactions, provide a reasonable basis
                           for the opinion expressed above.

                           FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION   (Unaudited)

================================================================================
                           In early 1997 shareholders will receive information
                           regarding all dividends and distributions paid to
                           them by the Fund during calendar year 1996.
                           Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require
                           the Fund to report this information to the Internal
                           Revenue Service.

                                        Distributions of $1.1073, $1.0263 and
                           $1.0503 per share were paid to Class A, Class B and
                           Class C shareholders, respectively, on December 21,
                           1995, of which, for each class of shares, $0.8052
                           was designated as a capital gain distribution" for
                           federal income tax purposes.
                           Whether received in stock or in cash, the capital
                           gain distribution should be treated by shareholders
                           as a gain from the sale of capital assets held for
                           more than one year (long-term capital gains).

                                        Dividends paid by the Fund during the
                           fiscal year ended October 31, 1996 which are not
                           designated as capital gain distributions should be
                           multiplied by 22.28% to arrive at the net amount
                           eligible for the corporate dividend-received
                           deduction.

                                        The foregoing information is presented
                           to assist shareholders in reporting distributions
                           received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue
                           Service. Because of the complexity of the federal
                           regulations which may affect your individual tax
                           return and the many variations in state and local
                           tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your
                           tax adviser for specific guidance.
