REPORT HIGHLIGHTS

3 An Interview with Your Fund's Managers

10 Financial Statements

Because high yield corporate bonds, foreign bonds and certain types of mortgage-backed securities are less vulnerable to rising interest rates than U. S. Government bonds, we focused on these higher yielding market sectors. Of the three credit-sensitive market sectors in which we invest, emerging-market bonds contributed the most to performance.

We believe that the Fund's holdings may benefit as the fixed income investment environment improves and demand for higher yielding securities improves.

PRESIDENT'S LETTER

Dear shareholder,

James C. Swain
Chairman Oppenheimer
Strategic Income Fund

Bridget A. Macaskill
President Oppenheimer
Strategic Income Fund

For many years, we have encouraged investors to consider whether they could tolerate more risk in their long-term investments by participating in the stock market, which has historically provided higher long-term returns than any other asset class. Today, however, we have a very different concern: some investors may be assuming too much risk by concentrating their investments in just a handful of stocks or sectors or by "chasing performance." Alan Greenspan, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, has stated his view that the recent spectacular returns of some sectors of the market are partly responsible for pushing our economy to growth rates that could lead to higher inflation. The dramatic rise in the prices of a narrow segment of the market has created enormous wealth for some investors. In turn, those investors are spending at a rate that the Fed believes may threaten the healthy growth of our economy.

That's why the Fed has been raising interest rates steadily and decisively over the past year. By making borrowing more expensive, the Fed is attempting to slow economic growth. It is a precarious balancing act: too much tightening creates the risk of recession, while too little opens the door to inflation.

The implications are clear: investors must be prepared for near-term market volatility. In the bond market, higher interest rates usually lead to lower bond prices. In the stock market, slower economic growth could reduce corporate earnings and put downward pressure on stock prices. Highly valued stocks may be particularly vulnerable to a correction. The Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman, Arthur Levitt, has cautioned investors against the expectation that the types of returns seen in the recent bull market will last forever. We agree.

PRESIDENT'S LETTER

Because of the prospect of continued market volatility, we encourage you to consider diversifying your investments. Indeed, diversification may help you mitigate the effects of sharp declines in any one area. It may also help you better position your portfolio to seek greater returns over the long run.

While "new economy" stocks have risen since our last report to you, many "old economy" stocks are selling at unusually low prices. In the bond market, higher interest rates over the short term may reduce inflation concerns, which should be beneficial over the long term. By buying out-of-favor investments, you may be able to profit when and if they return to favor in the future. Of course, there is no assurance that value investing will return to favor in the market, but it may be a diversification strategy to consider for part of your portfolio.

What specific investments should you consider today so that you are prepared for tomorrow? The answer depends on your individual investing goals, risk tolerance and financial circumstances. We urge you to talk with your financial advisor about ways to diversify your portfolio. This may include considering global diversification as part of your strategy. While investing abroad has special risks, such as the effects of foreign currency fluctuation, it also offers opportunities to participate in global economic growth and to hedge against the volatility in U. S. markets.

We thank you for your continued confidence in OppenheimerFunds, The Right Way to Invest.

Sincerely,

AN INTERVIEW WITH YOUR FUND'S MANAGERS

How did Oppenheimer Strategic Income Fund perform over the six-month period that ended March 31, 2000?

A. We are generally pleased with the Fund's positive returns in a very challenging investment environment. During the six-month reporting period, stronger-than-expected economic growth fueled investors' concerns that inflationary pressures might emerge. As a result, interest rates and most bond yields rose. Because bond yields and prices move in opposite directions, higher interest rates eroded the value of many fixed income securities. However, we focused the portfolio on the highest yielding, best performing sectors of the bond market and were able to provide positive returns in a declining market.

Why were the past six months a difficult time for most bonds?

When the reporting period began on October 1, 1999, the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) had already implemented two interest-rate hikes. They did so in response to concerns that unsustainable economic growth might ignite inflationary pressures. While inflation had not yet accelerated, early warning signs included very low unemployment, high levels of consumer spending and borrowing, and rising commodities prices. When the economy subsequently gained momentum, the Fed raised short-term interest rates again in November, February and March. These increases were quickly reflected in lower bond prices.

AN INTERVIEW WITH YOUR FUND'S MANAGERS

"By focusing on bonds providing above-average income streams, we helped offset the effects of declining bond prices on the portfolio."

The bond market was also influenced by supply-and-demand factors. For example, U. S. Treasury securities provided the least attractive returns during the reporting period because of a fall-off in investor demand. In a robust economic environment, investors appeared to prefer higher yielding, credit-sensitive bonds--such as corporate and emerging-markets securities--over interest-rate-sensitive bonds such as U. S. Treasury securities.

What was your strategy for managing the Fund in this environment?

Our goal during the period was to avoid interest-rate-sensitive securities and emphasize higher yielding, credit-sensitive securities. As such, we increased our exposure to credit-sensitive bonds such as high yield corporate securities, emerging-market bonds and certain types of mortgage-backed securities. By focusing on bonds providing above-average income streams, we helped offset the effects of declining bond prices on the portfolio.

While U. S. Treasuries comprised only about 6% of the portfolio, we emphasized long-term issues, which benefited the Fund.1 Since the beginning of the year, despite falling bond prices in the overall market, the limited supply and high demand for longer-term assets pushed prices of 30-year Treasuries up and yields down. As a result, long bonds actually outperformed shorter issues.

Because of ongoing market volatility, the Fund's returns may fluctuate and may be less than the results shown.
 

How did the various bond market sectors affect the Fund's performance?

Of the three credit-sensitive market sectors in which we invest, emerging-market bonds contributed the most to performance. Consistent with our contrarian investment style, we purchased many of our emerging-market holdings in 1998, when they were out-of-favor as a result of the global financial crisis. We bought many of these bonds when they were inexpensive, and their prices have since risen as market conditions and investor interest improved. As of March 31, emerging-market bonds comprised about 20% of the Fund's portfolio.2

In the mortgage-backed securities market sector, our holdings of "interest only" bonds performed well. Unlike most fixed income securities, prices of "interest only" bonds appreciate when interest rates rise. At the end of the reporting period, interest-only bonds comprised about 5% of the portfolio, while the entire mortgage-backed securities sector accounted for about 25% of assets.2

How did the remaining market sectors fare?

Our holdings of high yield corporate bonds provided modestly positive returns. Although high yield bonds generally outperformed U.S. Treasury securities during the period, they were adversely affected by their own, unique supply-and-demand influences. When interest rates began to rise in 1999, corporations began to issue more debt in order to avoid potentially higher interest rates in 2000. However, investor demand fell as stocks continued to generate high returns. This relative imbalance constrained the performance of high yield corporate bonds.

Our holdings of foreign bonds from developed markets were somewhat hurt by the strength of the U. S. dollar relative to most European currencies, including the Euro. European economies are generally growing at slower rates than the U. S. economy, making U. S. investments more attractive to domestic and foreign investors alike. In Japan, the relationship between the Japanese yen and the U. S. dollar has been relatively stable. However, poor economic conditions in Japan have led to relatively unattractive low bond yields.

What is your outlook for the markets?

We remain optimistic. We expect the Fed to continue to tighten U. S. monetary policy by raising short-term interest rates until they see evidence that the economy is slowing. In our view, investors currently expect to see several more modest interest-rate increases, which we believe have already been priced into the market. Therefore, we believe that any further price erosion should be limited.

If interest rates rise and the economy slows, the most substantial effects may be felt in the stock market and the high yield markets. If highly valued stocks experience a sharp correction because of investors' expectations of lower corporate profits, investors may turn to the higher quality, lower yielding sectors of the bond market. We would likely seek to take advantage of such a situation by employing various sophisticated hedging strategies, rather than dramatically restructuring the portfolio.

3. Standardized yield is based on net investment income for the 30-day period ended March 31, 2000. Falling share prices will tend to artificially raise yields.

Regardless of future economic events, however, we intend to continue to manage the Fund in a way that takes advantage of the changing relationships among the various sectors of the bond market. In fact, adhering to our long-term investment approach is an important part of what it means at OppenheimerFunds to be The Right Way to Invest.

NOTES

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, maybe worth more or less than the original cost. For quarterly updates on the Fund's performance, please contact your financial advisor, call us at 1-800-525-7048 or visit our website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com.

Total returns include changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions in a hypothetical investment for the periods shown. Cumulative total returns are not annualized. The Fund's total returns and yields shown do not show the effects of income taxes on an individual's investment. Taxes may reduce your actual investment returns on income or gains paid by the Fund or any gains you may realize if you sell your shares.

Class A shares were first publicly offered on 10/16/89. Unless otherwise noted, Class A returns include the current maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%. The Fund's maximum sales charge for Class A shares was lower prior to 2/1/93, so actual performance may have been higher.

Class B shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 11/30/92. Unless otherwise noted, Class B returns include the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 5% (1-year) and 1% (5-year). Because Class B shares convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase, the "life-of-class" return for Class B uses Class A performance for the period after conversion. Class B shares are subject to an annual 0. 75% asset-based sales charge.

Class C shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 5/26/95. Unless otherwise noted, Class C returns include the contingent deferred sales charge of 1% for the 1-year period. Class C shares are subject to an annual 0. 75% asset-based sales charge.

Class Y shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 1/26/98. Class Y shares are offered only to certain institutional investors under special agreement with the Distributor.

An explanation of the calculation of performance is in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

2. When-issued security to be delivered and settled after March 31, 2000.
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. 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Oppenheimer Strategic Income Fund (the Fund) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Strategic Funds Trust, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund's investment objective is to seek high current income by investing mainly in debt securities and by writing covered call options on them. 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 at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus an initial sales charge. Class B and Class C shares are sold without an initial sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC. 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. Classes A, B and C shares 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.


Securities Valuation. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if in the absence of a sale, at the last sale price on the prior trading day if it is within the spread of the closing bid and asked prices, and if not, at the closing bid price. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations, a portfolio pricing service authorized by the Board of Trustees, or at their fair value. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. 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, dealer or pricing service. Short-term "money market type" debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at cost (or last determined market value) and adjusted for amortization or accretion to maturity of any premium or discount.
Structured Notes. The Fund invests in foreign currency-linked structured notes whose market value and redemption price are linked to foreign currency exchange rates. The structured notes may be leveraged, which increases the notes' volatility relative to the face of the security. Fluctuations in value of these securities are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in the accompanying financial statements. As of March 31, 2000, the market value of these securities comprised 4.67% of the Fund's net assets and resulted in realized and unrealized losses of $35,129,023. The Fund also hedges a portion of the foreign currency exposure generated by these securities, as discussed in Note 5.

1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued

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. Normally the settlement date occurs within six months after the transaction date; however, the Fund may, from time to time, purchase securities whose settlement date extends beyond six months and possibly as long as two years or more beyond trade 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 segregated assets with a market value equal to or greater than 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 March 31, 2000, the Fund had entered into net outstanding when-issued or forward commitments of $385,372,092.
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.


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. As of March 31, 2000, securities with an aggregate market value of $102,264,966, representing 1.46% of the Fund's net 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 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

52  
OPPENHEIMER STRATEGIC INCOME FUND

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.
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 carry-overs, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. As of September 30, 1999, the Fund had available for federal tax purposes an unused capital loss carryover of approximately $131,000,000, which expires between 2004 and 2007.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to share-holders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, 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 primarily because of pay down gains and losses and the recognition of certain foreign currency gains (losses) as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes. The character of 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.
Expense Offset Arrangements. Expenses paid indirectly represent a reduction of custodian fees for earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund.
Other. Investment transactions are accounted for as of 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 periodically.

1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued

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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued


4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates Continued

Class A Service Plan Fees. 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. The Class A service plan permits reimbursements to the Distributor at a rate of up to 0.25% of average annual net assets of Class A shares purchased. 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 of the Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2000, payments under the Class A plan totaled $4,359,031, all of which was paid by the Distributor to recipients. That included $305,797 paid to an affiliate of the Manager. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent years.


Class B and Class C Distribution and Service Plan Fees. 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 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. 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 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 asset-based sales charges from the Fund under the plans. If any 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 for distributing shares before the plan was terminated. The plans allow for the carry-forward of distribution expenses, to be recovered from asset-based sales charges in subsequent fiscal periods.

Distribution fees paid to the Distributor for the six months ended March 31, 2000, were as follows:

5. Foreign Currency Contracts

A foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date, at a negotiated rate. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts for operational purposes and to seek to protect against adverse exchange rate fluctuations. Risks to the Fund include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract.
The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by the Fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined using foreign currency exchange rates as provided by a reliable bank, dealer or pricing service. Unrealized appreciation and depreciation on foreign currency contracts are reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Fund may realize a gain or loss upon the closing or settlement of the foreign currency transactions. Realized gains and losses are reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Statement of Operations.
Securities denominated in foreign currency to cover net exposure on outstanding foreign currency contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments where applicable.
As of March 31, 2000, the Fund had outstanding foreign currency as follows:

6. Futures Contracts Continued

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 may recognize 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 and/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.

As of March 31, 2000, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts as follows:

7. Option Activity

The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and covered 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 note 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 period ending March 31, 2000, was as follows:

8. Illiquid or Restricted Securities

As of March 31, 2000, 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 also 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 limitation. The aggregate value of illiquid or restricted securities subject to this limitation as of March 31, 2000, was $514,845,681, which represents 7.29% of the Fund's net assets, of which $15,486,947 is considered restricted.

9. Bank Borrowings

The Fund may borrow from a bank for temporary or emergency purposes including, with-out limitation, funding of shareholder redemptions provided asset coverage for borrowings exceeds 300%.

Interest is charged to each fund, based on its borrowings, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.45%. 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 0.08% per annum.

The Fund had no borrowings outstanding during the six months ended March 31, 2000.
