ABOUT THE FUND The Fund s Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies WHAT ARE THE FUND S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES? The Fund s primary objectiveistoseektotalreturn.asasecondaryobjective,thefundseeksincomewhen consistent with total return. WHAT DOES THE FUND MAINLY INVEST IN? TheFundinvestsmainlyin debt securities of foreign government and corporate issuers. Those debt securities generally, referred to as bonds, include long-term and short-term government bonds, participation interests in loans, corporate debt obligations, structured notes and other debt obligations. They may include zero coupon or stripped securities. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes)in bonds andinvestsinatleastthreecountriesotherthantheunitedstates. The Fund s non-fundamental policy of investing at least 80% of its net assets in bonds will not be changed by the Fund s Board of Trustees without first providing shareholders 60 days written notice of the change. The Fund does not limit its investments to securities ofissuersinaparticularmarketcapitalizationormaturityrangeorratingcategory,andcan hold rated and unrated securities below investment grade. The Fund can invest without limit in securities below investment grade (commonly called junk bonds ) to seek total return and higher income. Therefore, the Fund s credit risks are greater than those of funds that buy only investment-grade bonds. The Fund invests in debt securities of issuers in both developed and emerging markets throughout the world. These investments are more fully explained in About the Fund s Investments, below. HOW DOES THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER DECIDE WHAT SECURITIES TO BUY OR SELL? In selecting securities for the Fund, the Fund s portfolio manager analyzes the overall investment opportunities and risks in individual national economies by analyzingthebusinesscycleindevelopedcountriesandpoliticalandexchangeratefactors ofemergingmarkets.theportfoliomanagercurrentlyfocusesonthefactorsbelow(which mayvaryinparticularcasesandmaychangeovertime),lookingfor: +OpportunitiesforhigheryieldsthanareavailableinU.S.markets,and +Opportunitiesingovernmentbondsinbothdevelopedandemergingmarkets. WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? TheFundisdesignedprimarilyforinvestors seeking total return in their investment over the long term, with the opportunity for some income, from a fund that will invest mainly in foreign debt securities. Those investors should be willing to assume the risks of short-term share price fluctuations that are typical for a fund focusing on debt investments in foreign securities, particularly those in emerging markets. Since the Fund s income level will fluctuate, it is not designed for investors needing an assured level of current income. Because of its focus on long-term total return, thefundmaybeappropriateforapartofaninvestor sretirementplanportfolio.however, the Fund is not a complete investment program. 3 OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL BOND FUND

MainRisksofInvestingintheFund All investments carry risks to some degree. The Fund s investments are subject to changes in their value from a number of factors, described below. There is also the risk that poor security selection by the Fund s investment Manager, OppenheimerFunds, Inc., will cause thefundtounderperformotherfundshavingsimilarobjectives. CREDIT RISK. Debtsecuritiesaresubjecttocreditrisk.Creditriskistheriskthatthe issuerofasecuritymightnotmakeinterestandprincipalpaymentsonthesecurityasthey becomedue.iftheissuerfailstopayinterest,thefund sincomemightbereduced,andif theissuerfailstorepayprincipal,thevaluesofthatbondandofthefund ssharesmight fall. A downgrade in an issuer s credit rating or other adverse news about an issuer can reduce the market value of that issuer s securities. +Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. The Fund can invest without limit in securities below investment grade (commonly called junk bonds ) to seek total return and higher income. Therefore, the Fund s credit risks are greater than those of funds that buy only investment-grade bonds. Lower-grade debt securities may be subjecttogreaterpricefluctuationsandrisksoflossofincomeandprincipalthan investment-grade debt securities. Securities that are (or that have fallen) below investmentgradeareexposedtoagreaterriskthattheissuersmightnotmeettheirdebt obligations.theremaybelessofamarketforthesesecurities,makingitharderto value them or sell them at an acceptable price. Additionally, these securities may be subjecttoagreaterriskofdefault.theseriskscanreducethefund ssharepricesand theincomeitearns. RISKS OF FOREIGN INVESTING. While foreign securities offer special investment opportunities,therearealsospecialrisksthatcanreducethefund ssharepricesand returns. The change in value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of securities denominated in that foreign currency. Currency ratechangescanalsoaffectthedistributionsthefundmakesfromtheincomeitreceives from foreign securities as foreign currency values change against the U.S. dollar. Foreign investing can result in higher transaction and operating costs for the Fund. Foreign issuers arenotsubjecttothesameaccountinganddisclosurerequirementsthatu.s.companies are subject to. The value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control regulations, expropriation or nationalization of a company s assets, foreign taxes, delays in settlement of transactions, changes in governmental economic or monetary policy in the U.S. or abroad,orotherpoliticalandeconomicfactors. +Special Risks of Emerging and Developing Markets.

Investments may be subject to greater risks of government restrictionsonwithdrawingthesalesproceedsofsecuritiesfromthecountry. 4 OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL BOND FUND

Economies of developing countries may be more dependent on relatively few industries that may be highly vulnerable to local and global changes. Governments maybemoreunstableandpresentgreaterrisksofnationalizationorrestrictionson foreign ownership of securities of local companies. These investments may be substantially more volatile than debt securities of issuers in the U.S. and other developedcountriesandmaybeveryspeculative. Additionally, if the Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in foreign securities, it might expose the fund to time-zone arbitrage attempts by investors seeking to take advantageofthedifferencesinvalueofforeignsecuritiesthatmightresultfromevents that occur after the close of the foreign securities market on which a foreign security is traded and the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE ) that day, when the Fund s net asset value is calculated. If such time-zone arbitrage were successful, it might dilutetheinterestsofothershareholders.however,thefund suseof fairvaluepricing to adjust the closing market prices of foreign securities under certain circumstances, to reflectwhatthemanagerandtheboardbelievetobetheirfairvaluemayhelpdeter those activities. INTEREST RATE RISKS. Thevaluesofdebtsecuritiesaresubjecttochangewhen prevailing interest rates change. When interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. When interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall. The magnitude of these fluctuations will often be greater for longer-term debt securities than shorter-term debt securities. The Fund s share prices can go up or downwheninterestrateschangebecauseoftheeffectofthechangesonthevalueofthe Fund s investments in debt securities. Also, if interest rates fall, the Fund s investments in new securities at lower yields will reduce the Fund s income. RISKS OF NON-DIVERSIFICATION. The Fund is non-diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, the Fund can invest a greater portion of its assetsinthedebtsecuritiesofasingleissuerthan diversified funds.forexample,thefund mayinvestagreaterportionofitsassetsinthedebtobligationsissuedbythegovernment of any single country ( sovereign debt ) or corporate issuer. To the extent the Fund invests arelativelyhighpercentageofitsassetsinthedebtsecuritiesofasingleissueroralimited number of issuers, the Fund is subject to additional risk of loss if those debt securities lose market value. RISKS OF DERIVATIVE INVESTMENTS. The Fund can use derivatives to seek increased returns or to try to hedge investment and interest rate risks. In general terms, a derivative investment is one whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index. Options, futures, structured notes and forward contractsareexamplesofderivativesthefunduses. If the issuer of the derivative does not pay the amount due, the Fund can lose money on the investment. Also, the underlying security or investment on which the derivative is based, and the derivative itself, might not perform the way the Manager expected it to perform. If that happens, the Fund s share prices could fall and the Fund could get less income than expected. Some derivatives may be illiquid, making it difficult to value them or sell them at an acceptable price. Using derivatives can increase the volatility of the Fund s share prices. 5 OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL BOND FUND

HOW RISKY IS THE FUND OVERALL? The risks described above collectively formtheoverallriskprofileofthefund,andcanaffectthevalueofthefund sinvestments, its investment performance and the prices of its shares. The Fund is non-diversified and may focus its investments in the sovereign debt of a limited number of countries. It will therefore be vulnerable to the effects of economic changes that affect those countries. Particular investments and investment strategies also have risks. These risks mean that you canlosemoneybyinvestinginthefund.when you redeem your shares, they may be worth moreorlessthanwhatyoupaidforthem.thereisnoassurancethatthefundwillachieve its investment objectives. The values of foreign debt securities, particularly those of issuers inemergingmarkets,canbevolatile,andthepricesofthefund ssharescangoupand down substantially. The income from some of the Fund s investments may help cushion the Fund s total return from changes in prices, but debt securities are subject to credit and interestraterisksthatcanaffecttheirvaluesandincomeandthesharepricesofthefund. In the OppenheimerFunds spectrum, the Fund is generally more aggressive and has more risks than bond funds that focus on U. S. government securities and investment-grade bonds but is less aggressive than funds that invest solely in emerging markets. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

EXAMPLES. The following examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investinginthefundwiththecostofinvestinginothermutualfunds.theexamples assume that you invest $10,000 in a class of shares of the Fund for the time periods indicated and reinvest your dividends and distributions. The first example assumes that you redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The second example assumes that you keep your shares. Both examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the class s operating expenses remain the same. Your actual costs may be higher or lower because expenses will vary over time. Based on these assumptions your expenses would be as follows: If shares are redeemed: 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years Class A Shares $575 $786 $1,014 $1,670 Class B Shares $694 $899 $1,231 $1,790 1 Class C Shares $281 $562 $968 $2,102 Class N Shares $251 $468 $808 $1,770 Class Y Shares $68 $212 $369 $825 If shares are not redeemed: 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years Class A Shares $575 $786 $1,014 $1,670 Class B Shares $194 $599 $1,031 $1,790 1 Class C Shares $181 $562 $968 $2,102 Class N Shares $151 $468 $808 $1,770 Class Y Shares $68 $212 $369 $825 Inthefirstexample,expensesincludetheinitialsaleschargeforClassAandtheapplicableClassB,ClassCorClassN contingentdeferredsalescharges.inthesecondexample,theclassaexpensesincludethesalescharge,butclassb, ClassCandClassNexpensesdonotincludethecontingentdeferredsalescharges.ThereisnosaleschargeonClassY. 1.

About the Fund s Investments THE FUND S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISKS. The allocation of the Fund s portfolio among different types of investments will vary over time based upon the Manager s evaluation of economic and market trends. The Fund s portfolio What is a Debt Security? Adebtsecurityisessentiallyaloanby thebuyertotheissuerofthedebt security. The issuer promises to pay back the principal amount of the loan and normally pays interest, at a fixed or variablerate,onthedebtwhileisit outstanding. might not always include all of the different types of investments described below. At times thefundmayfocusmoreoninvestingfor growth with less emphasis on income, while at other times it may have both growth and income investments to seek total return. The Statement of Additional Information contains more detailed information about the Fund s investment policies and risks. TheManagertriestoreducerisksbycarefully researching securities before they are purchased, and in some cases by using hedging techniques. The Fund is non-diversified and may at times focus its investments in the debt securities of a limited number of issuers. The Fund does not concentrate 25% or more of its total assets in investments in the securitiesofanyoneforeigngovernmentorinthedebtandequitysecuritiesofcompaniesin anyoneforeigncountryorinanyoneindustry. The debt securities the Fund buys may be rated by nationally recognized rating organizations or they may be unrated securities assigned an equivalent rating by the Manager. The Fund s investments may be above or below investment grade in credit quality, and the Fund can invest without limit in below-investment-grade debt securities, commonly called junk bonds. ForeignDebtSecurities.TheFundcanbuyavarietyofdebtsecuritiesissuedbyforeign governments and companies, as well as supra-national entities, such as the World Bank. They can include bonds, debentures, and notes, including derivative investments called structured notes, described below. The Fund s foreign debt investments can be denominated in U.S. dollars or in foreign currencies and can include Brady Bonds. Those are U.S.-dollar denominated debt securities collateralized by zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities. They are typically issued by emerging markets countries and are considered speculative securities with higher risks of default. The Fund will buy foreign currency only in connection with the purchase and sale of foreign securities andnotforspeculation. ParticipationInterestsinLoans.These securities represent an undivided fractional interest in a loan obligation of a borrower.

The Fund can invest in a number of different kinds of derivative investments. In the broadest sense, structured notes, options, futures contracts, and other hedging instruments the Fund uses may be considered 10 OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL BOND FUND

derivative investments. In addition to using derivatives for hedging, the Fund may use other derivative investments because they offer the potential for increased income and principal value. + Structured Notes. The Fund buys structured notes, which are specially-designed derivative debt investments whose principal payments or interest payments are linked tothevalueofanindex(suchasacurrencyorsecuritiesindex)orcommodity.the terms of the instrument may be structured by the purchaser (the Fund) and the borrower issuing the note.

Thevaluesofthesenotesarealsosubjecttobothcreditandinterestraterisksand therefore the Fund could receive more or less than it originally invested when a note matures, or it might receive less interest than the stated coupon payment if the underlying investment or index does not perform as anticipated. The prices of these notesmaybeveryvolatileandtheymayhavealimitedtradingmarket,makingit difficult for the Fund to value them or sell them at an acceptable price. Hedging. TheFundcanbuyandsellfuturescontracts,putandcalloptions,andforward contracts.theseareallreferredtoas hedginginstruments. TheFundisnotrequired to hedge to seek its objectives. The Fund does not use hedging instruments for speculative purposes, and has limits on its use of them. The Fund could hedge for a number of purposes.

Investments By Funds of Funds. ClassYsharesoftheFundareofferedasan investment to other Oppenheimer funds that act as funds of funds. The Fund s 11 OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL BOND FUND

Board of Trustees has approved making the Fund s shares available as an investment to those funds. Those funds of funds may invest significant portions of their assets in shares of the Fund, as described in their respective prospectuses. Those other funds, individually and/or collectively, may own significant amounts of the Fund s shares from time to time. Those funds of funds typically use asset allocation strategies under which they may increase or reduce the amount of their investment in the Fund frequently, which may occur on a daily basis under volatile market conditions. Depending on a number of factors, such as the flows of cash into and from the Fund as a result of the activity of other investors and the Fund s then-current liquidity, those purchases and redemptions of the Fund s shares by funds of funds could require the Fund to purchase or sell portfolio securities, increasing its transaction costs and possiblyreducingitsperformance,ifthesizeofthosepurchasesandredemptions were significant relative to the size of the Fund. For a further discussion of the possible effects of frequent trading in the Fund s shares, please refer to Are There Limitations On Exchanges? CAN THE FUND S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES CHANGE? The Fund s Board of Trustees can change non-fundamental investment policies without shareholder approval, although significant changes will be described in amendments to thisprospectus.fundamentalpoliciescannotbechangedwithouttheapprovalofamajority of the Fund s outstanding voting shares. The Fund s investment objectives are fundamental policies. Other investment restrictions that are fundamental policies are listed in the Statement of Additional Information. An investment policy is not fundamental unless thisprospectusorthestatementofadditionalinformationsaysthatitis. OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES. Toseekitsobjectives,theFundcanusethe investment techniques and strategies described below. The Fund might not always use all of them. These techniques have risks, although some are designed to help reduce overall investment or market risks. OtherDebtSecurities.Under normal market conditions, the Fund can invest (up to 35% ofitstotalassets)indebtsecuritiesissuedbyu.s.companies,theu.s.governmentor U.S. government agencies to seek the Fund s goals. However, these are not expected to be a significant part of the Fund s normal long term investment strategy.

One class might receive all the interest and the other all the principal payments. The values of these stripped mortgage related securities are very sensitive to prepayments of underlying mortgages. Zero-coupon and stripped securities are subject to greater fluctuations in price from interest rate changes than interest-bearing securities. The Fund may have to pay out the imputed income on zero coupon securities without receiving the actual cash currently. Interest-only securities are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates. Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Investments may be illiquid because they do not have anactivetradingmarket,makingitdifficulttovaluethemordisposeofthempromptly at an acceptable price. A restricted security is one that has a contractual restriction on itsresaleorwhichcannotbesoldpubliclyuntilitisregisteredunderthesecuritiesact of 1933. The Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid or restricted securities (the Board can increase that limit to 15%). Certain restricted securities that are eligible for resale to qualified institutional purchasers may not be subject to that limit. The Manager monitors holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any holdings to maintain adequate liquidity. When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions. TheFundcanpurchasesecurities on a when-issued basis and can purchase or sell securities on a delayed-delivery basis.betweenthepurchaseandsettlement,nopaymentismadeforthesecurityand no interest accrues to the buyer from the investment.

The Manager is located at Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street- 11 th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008. Advisory Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager an advisory fee at an annual rate that declines on additional assets as the Fund grows: 0.75% of the first $200 million of average annual net assets of the Fund, 0.72% of the next $200 million, 0.69% of the next $200 million, 0.66% of the next $200 million, 0.60% of the next $200 million, 0.50% of the next $4 billion and 0.48% average annual net assets in excess of $5 billion. The Fund s management fee for its last fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, was 0.57% of average annual net assets for each class of shares.

The Statement of Additional Information provides additional information about the Portfolio Manager s compensation, other accounts he manages and his ownership of Fund shares. Pending Litigation. A consolidated amended complaint has been filed as putative derivative and class actions against the Manager, Distributor and Transfer Agent, as well as 51 of the Oppenheimer funds (collectively the funds ) including the Fund, 30 present and former Directors or Trustees and 8 present and former officers of certain of the funds. This complaint, initially filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on January 10, 2005 and amended on March 4, 2005, consolidates into a single action and amends six individual previously-filed putative derivative and class action complaints. Like those prior complaints, the complaint allegesthatthemanagerchargedexcessivefeesfordistributionandothercosts, improperly used assets of the funds in the form of directed brokerage commissions and12b-1feestopaybrokerstopromotesalesofthefunds,andfailedtoproperly disclose the use of fund assets to make those payments in violation of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Also, like those prior complaints, the complaint further alleges that by permitting and/or participating in those actions, the Directors/Trustees and the officers breached their fiduciary duties to Fund shareholders under the Investment Company Act and at common law. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, rescission of the funds investment advisory agreements, an accounting of all fees paid, and an award of attorneys fees and litigation expenses.

In most cases, you can buy Fund shares with a minimum initial investment of $1,000 and make additional investments at any time with as little as $50. There are reduced minimums available under the following special investment plans: 16 OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL BOND FUND

WHAT CLASSES OF SHARES DOES THE FUND OFFER? TheFundoffers investors five different classes of shares. The different classes of shares represent investmentsinthesameportfolioofsecurities,buttheclassesaresubjecttodifferentexpenses and will likely have different share prices. Whenyoubuyshares,besuretospecifytheclassof shares.ifyoudonotchooseaclass,yourinvestmentwillbemadeinclassashares. ClassAShares.If you buy Class A shares, you pay an initial sales charge (on investments up to $1 million for regular accounts or lesser amounts for certain retirement plans). The amount of that sales charge will vary depending on the amount you invest. The saleschargeratesarelistedin HowCanYouBuyClassAShares? below. ClassBShares.IfyoubuyClassBshares,youpaynosaleschargeatthetimeofpurchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge. If you sell your shares within 6 years of buying them, you will normally pay a contingent deferred sales charge. That contingent deferred sales charge varies depending on how long you own your shares, asdescribedin HowCanYouBuyClassBShares? below. ClassCShares.IfyoubuyClassCshares,youpaynosaleschargeatthetimeofpurchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge. If you sell your shares within 12 months of buying them, you will normally pay a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0%, as described in How Can You Buy Class C Shares? below.

ClassYShares.ClassYsharesareofferedonlytocertaininstitutionalinvestorsthathave specialagreementswiththedistributor. WHICH CLASS OF SHARES SHOULD YOU CHOOSE? Once you decide that the Fund is an appropriate investment for you, the decision as to which class of shares is best suited to your needs depends on a number of factors that you should discuss with your financial advisor. Some factors to consider are how much you plan to invest and how long you plan to hold your investment. If your goals and objectives change over time and you plan to purchase additional shares, you should re-evaluate those factors to see if you should consider another class of shares. The Fund s operating costs that apply to a class of shares and the effect of the different types of sales charges on your investment will vary your investment results over time. The discussion below is not intended to be investment advice or a recommendation, because each investor s financial considerations are different. The discussion below assumes that you will purchase only one class of shares and not a combination of shares of different classes. Of course, these examples are based on approximations of the effects of currentsaleschargesandexpensesprojectedovertime,anddonotdetailalloftheconsiderations in selecting a class of shares. You should analyze your options carefully with your financialadvisorbeforemakingthatchoice. How Long Do You Expect to Hold Your Investment? Whilefuturefinancialneeds cannot be predicted with certainty, knowing how long you expect to hold your investment will assist you in selecting the appropriate class of shares. Because of the 19 OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL BOND FUND

effect of class-based expenses, your choice will also depend on how much you plan toinvest.forexample,thereducedsaleschargesavailableforlargerpurchasesofclass A shares may, over time, offset the effect of paying an initial sales charge on your investment, compared to the effect over time of higher class-based expenses on sharesofclassb,classcorclassn.forretirementplansthatqualifytopurchase Class N shares, Class N shares will generally be more advantageous than Class B and ClassCshares. +InvestingfortheShorterTerm. WhiletheFundismeanttobealong-terminvestment, if you have a relatively short-term investment horizon (that is, you plan to hold your shares for not more than six years), you should most likely invest in Class A or ClassCsharesratherthanClassBshares.ThatisbecauseoftheeffectoftheClassB contingentdeferredsaleschargeifyouredeemwithinsixyears,aswellastheeffectof the Class B asset-based sales charge on the investment return for that class in the short-term. Class C shares might be the appropriate choice (especially for investments of less than $100,000), because there is no initial sales charge on Class C shares, and the contingent deferred sales charge does not apply to amounts you sell after holding them one year. However, if you plan to invest more than $100,000 for the shorter term, then as your investment horizon increases toward six years, Class C shares might not be as advantageous as Class A shares. That is because the annual asset-based sales charge on Class C shares will have a greater impact on your account over the longer term thanthereducedfront-endsaleschargeavailableforlargerpurchasesofclassa shares. If you invest $1 million or more, in most cases Class A shares will be the most advantageous choice, no matter how long you intend to hold your shares. For that reason, the Distributor normally will not accept purchase orders of more than $100,000 of Class B shares or $1 million or more of Class C shares from a single investor. Dealers or other financial intermediaries purchasing shares for their customers in omnibus accounts are responsible for compliance with those limits. +Investing for the Longer Term. If you are investing less than $100,000 for the longer-term, for example for retirement, and do not expect to need access to your moneyforsevenyearsormore,classbsharesmaybeappropriate.
