OPPENHEIMER STRATEGIC DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND
          ANNUAL REPORT SEPTEMBER 30, 1994

FUND FACTS

IN THIS REPORT:

ANSWERS TO TIMELY QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK YOUR FUND'S MANAGERS.

- -    HOW DID THE FUND RESPOND TO RISING INTEREST RATES IN THE U.S. AND OVERSEAS?

- -    WHERE ARE YOU FINDING THE MOST ATTRACTIVE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES TODAY?


     FACTS EVERY SHAREHOLDER SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
     OPPENHEIMER STRATEGIC DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1    The Fund's objective is to seek high current income by investing  in three
     broad fixed income sectors: U.S. government issues, foreign fixed income
     securities, and high-yield lower-rated corporate bonds.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2    The Fund's standardized yield for the 30 days ended September 30, 1994 was
     7.11%.(1)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3    Total return for the period from inception of the Fund on February 1, 1994
     to September 30, 1994 was -0.42%.(2)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4    "The Fund's flexibility to shift assets strategically among bond market
     sectors is a major plus for shareholders in the current investment
     environment. It has allowed us to capitalize on opportunities offered in
     higher-yielding corporate bonds, the best performing bond market sector
     over the last 12 months. And it has enabled us to limit the  portfolio's
     exposure to rising interest rates worldwide."

            PORTFOLIO MANAGERS DAVID NEGRI AND ART STEINMETZ, SEPTEMBER 30, 1994

(1)  Standardized yield is net investment income calculated on a
yield-to-maturity basis for the 30-day period ended  9/30/94, divided by the
maximum offering price at the end of the period, compounded semi-annually and
then annualized. Falling net asset values will tend to artificially raise
yields.

(2)  Total return is based on a hypothetical investment in the Fund for the
period shown, after deducting the contingent deferred sales charge of 1%.

All figures assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investment and principal
value on 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.

REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS

Oppenheimer Strategic Diversified Income Fund provided shareholders an
attractive level of income for the 8 months ended September 30, 1994. At that
date, the Fund's standardized 30-day yield was 7.11%.(3)

          Your managers' ability to shift assets strategically among three
sectors--U.S. government securities, high-yield corporate bonds and foreign
fixed  income securities--played an important role in the Fund's performance
over the past year. As the Federal Reserve and central banks worldwide moved
aggressively to raise short-term interest rates to fend off inflation, your
managers were able to capture rising yields while limiting the portfolio's price
erosion.

          As U.S. interest rates began to rise, your managers reduced the Fund's
exposure to long-term U.S. government bonds, as well as to high-yield bonds
issued by consumer-durable and financial services companies, whose earnings are
sensitive to  interest rate changes.

          The proceeds from these sales were used to add to holdings in
higher-yielding corporate bonds issued by larger industrial companies, whose
earnings tend  to rise in the middle-to-late stages of an economic expansion. In
addition, your managers increased positions in chemicals, mining, metals, and
forest products sectors.

          As interest rates rose offshore and the dollar weakened against major
currencies, positions in Latin America and other emerging markets also were
reduced, while more investments were centered in Europe. In addition to
increasing the portfolio's holdings of foreign government bonds, which made up
14.8% of the portfolio on September 30, your managers focused attention on large
European industrial companies positioned to benefit from economic growth.

          Looking ahead, your managers don't anticipate major changes  in the
portfolio's composition in the near term. The Fund's allocations will, of
course,  be adjusted should the economic expansion appear to be ending, but all
signs are currently pointing to continued gradual growth--and your Fund is
well-positioned to provide attractive returns.

          We appreciate the confidence you have placed in Oppenheimer Strategic
Diversified Income Fund, and we look forward to continuing to help you reach
your investment goals.

                    1. Face amount is reported in foreign currency.
                    2. Non-income producing security.
                    3. Represents a zero coupon bond that converts to a fixed rate of interest at a
                       designated future date.
                    4. Represents the current interest rate for a variable rate security.
                    5. Represents the current interest rate for an increasing rate security.
                    6. Restricted security-See Note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements.
                    7. Interest or dividend is paid in kind.
                    8. 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).

                      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 debt securities are
                      valued by a portfolio pricing service approved by the
                      Board of Trustees.  Long-term debt securities which cannot
                      be valued by the approved portfolio pricing service are
                      valued by averaging the mean between the bid and asked
                      prices obtained from two active market makers in such
                      securities.  Short-term 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.  Securities for which
                      market quotes are not readily available are valued under
                      procedures established by the Board of Trustees to
                      determine fair value in good faith.  An option is 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.  Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are
                      valued at the forward rate on a daily basis.
                      ----------------------------------------------------------
                      SECURITY CREDIT RISK.  The Fund invests in high yield
                      securities, which may be subject to a greater degree of
                      credit risk, greater market fluctuations and risk of loss
                      of income and principal, and may be more sensitive to
                      economic conditions than lower yielding, higher rated
                      fixed income securities.  The Fund may acquire securities
                      in default, and is not obligated to dispose of securities
                      whose issuers subsequently default.  At September 30,
                      1994, securities with an aggregate market value of
                      $832,577, representing 1.88% of the Fund's total assets
                      were in default.
                      ----------------------------------------------------------
                      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 Fund generally enters into forward currency exchange
                      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.  A forward exchange contract is a commitment to
                      purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date, at a
                      negotiated rate.  Risks may arise from the potential
                      inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the
                      contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of
                      a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

                      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 results 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.  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.
                      ----------------------------------------------------------
                      OPTIONS WRITTEN.  The Fund may write covered call and put
                      options.  When an option is written, the Fund receives a
                      premium and becomes obligated to sell the underlying
                      security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option.
                      In writing an option, the Fund bears the market risk of an
                      unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying
                      the written option.  Exercise of an option written by the
                      Fund could result in the Fund selling or purchasing a
                      security at a price different from the current market
                      value.  All securities covering call options written are
                      held in escrow by the custodian bank and the Fund
                      maintains liquid assets sufficient to cover written put
                      options in the event of exercise by the holder.
                      ----------------------------------------------------------
                      FEDERAL INCOME 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
                      tax provision is required.
                      ----------------------------------------------------------
                      DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS.  The Fund intends to
                      declare dividends 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.
                      ----------------------------------------------------------
                      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 options written 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 on the
                      ex-date.

                              thereafter to $800 million, .60% on the next $200
                              million and .50% on net assets in excess of
                              $1 billion.  The Manager has agreed to reimburse
                              the Fund if aggregate expenses (with specified
                              exceptions) exceed the most stringent applicable
                              regulatory limit  on Fund expenses. In addition,

                              reimburse Fund expenses to the level needed to

                              reimbursement for sales commissions advanced by
                              OFDI at the time of sale of such shares.

                              Under an approved distribution and service plan,

                              termination or discontinuance of the plan, the
                              Board of Trustees may allow the Fund to continue
                              payment of the asset-based sales charge to OFDI
                              for distribution expenses incurred on Fund shares
                              sold prior to termination or discontinuance of the
                              plan.  During the period ended September 30, 1994,
                              OFDI retained $143,650 as reimbursement for Class
                              C sales commissions and service fee advances, as
                              well as financing costs.

                              INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                              The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
                              Oppenheimer Strategic Diversified Income Fund:

                              We have audited the accompanying statement of
                              assets and liabilities, including the statement of
                              investments, of Oppenheimer Strategic Diversified
                              Income Fund as of September 30, 1994, the related
                              statement of operations for the period from
                              February 1, 1994 (commencement of operations) to
                              September 30, 1994, the statement of changes in
                              net assets for the period from February 1, 1994
                              (commencement of operations) to September 30, 1994
                              and the financial highlights for the period
                              February 1, 1994 (commencement of operations) to
                              September 30, 1994.  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 audit.

                              We conducted our audit 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 and financial highlights.
                              Our procedures included confirmation of securities
                              owned at September 30, 1994, 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 audit provides
                              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 Strategic Diversified Income Fund at
                              September 30, 1994, the results of its operations,
                              the changes in its net assets and the financial
                              highlights for the above stated period, in
                              conformity with generally accepted accounting
                              principles.

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

                              In early 1995, shareholders will receive
                              information regarding all dividends and
                              distributions paid to them by the Fund during
                              calendar year 1994.  Regulations of the U.S.
                              Treasury Department require the Fund to report
                              this information to the Internal Revenue Service.

                              Dividends paid by the Fund during the fiscal year
                              ended September 30, 1994 which are not designated
                              as capital gain distributions should be multiplied
                              by .40% to arrive at the net amount eligible for
                              the corporate dividend-received deduction.

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