Summary Prospectus Supplement dated November 26, 2013

 

Important Notice Regarding Change in Investment Policy

 

As a result of shareholder meetings of Oppenheimer Rochester Virginia Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) at which proposals described in the Fund’s proxy statement dated April 12, 2013 were approved, this supplement amends the Fund’s Summary Prospectus dated July 29, 2013.

 

Effective immediately, the Summary Prospectus is revised as follows:

 

1. The section titled “ Investment Objective ” is deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:

 

Investment Objective . The Fund seeks tax-free income.

 

2. The section titled “ Who Is The Fund Designed For? ” is deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:

 

Who Is The Fund Designed For? The Fund is designed for investors seeking tax-free income. Because it invests in tax-exempt securities, the Fund is not appropriate for a retirement plan or other tax-exempt or tax-deferred account. The Fund is not a complete investment program. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.

 

Effective January 25, 2014, the Summary Prospectus is revised as follows:

 

3. The first two paragraphs of the section titled “ Principal Investment Strategies ” are deleted in their entirety and replaced by the following:

 

Under normal market conditions, and as a fundamental policy, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in securities the income from which, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer of each security, is exempt from federal and, as applicable, the Fund’s state income tax. The Fund selects investments without regard to the alternative minimum tax (“AMT”). Additionally, under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in Virginia municipal securities. These securities are generally issued by the state and its political subdivisions (such as cities, towns, counties, agencies and authorities) and primarily include municipal bonds (long-term (more than one-year) obligations), municipal notes (short-term obligations) and interests in municipal leases. Municipal securities generally are classified as general or revenue obligations. General obligations are secured by the issuer's pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue obligations are bonds whose interest is payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities, or a specific excise tax or other revenue source. The securities in which the Fund invests may also include those issuers located outside of Virginia, such as U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions or by their agencies, instrumentalities and authorities, if the interest on such securities is not subject to Virginia and federal income tax. These securities are “Virginia municipal securities” for purposes of this prospectus.

  2. After discussions with the Fund's Board of Trustees, the Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Fund for certain expenses in order to limit "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement" (excluding any applicable interest and fees from borrowing, interest and related expenses from inverse floaters, dividend expense, taxes, any subsidiary expenses, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses and certain other Fund expenses) to annual rates of 0.80% for Class A shares, 1.55% for Class B and Class C shares, and 0.80% for Class Y shares, as calculated on the daily net assets of the Fund. This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of this prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

Example. The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in a class of shares of the Fund for the time periods indicated.  The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same.  Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your expenses would be as follows:

If shares are redeemed If shares are not redeemed
1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
Class A $ 568 $ 791 $ 1,033 $ 1,725 $ 568 $ 791 $ 1,033 $ 1,725
Class B $ 674 $ 868 $ 1,187 $ 1,773 $ 174 $ 568 $ 987 $ 1,773
Class C $ 274 $ 568 $ 987 $ 2,156 $ 174 $ 568 $ 987 $ 2,156
Class Y $ 85 $ 266 $ 462 $ 1,030 $ 85 $ 266 $ 462 $ 1,030


Portfolio Turnover.
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 16% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies.  Under normal market conditions, as a fundamental policy, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in securities the income from which, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer of each security, is exempt from both federal and Virginia state income tax. These securities are generally issued by the state and its political subdivisions (such as cities, towns, counties, agencies and authorities) and primarily include municipal bonds (long-term (more than one-year) obligations), municipal notes (short-term obligations) and interests in municipal leases. Municipal securities generally are classified as general or revenue obligations. General obligations are secured by the issuer's pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue obligations are bonds whose interest is payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities, or a specific excise tax or other revenue source. The securities in which the Fund invests may also include those of issuers located outside of Virginia, such as U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions, if the interest on such securities is not subject to federal or Virginia state income tax. These securities are "Virginia municipal securities" for purposes of this prospectus.

Securities whose interest is exempt from Virginia taxes are included for purposes of the Fund's 80% requirement discussed above, even if the issuer is located outside of Virginia. Securities that generate income subject to alternative minimum tax (AMT) will count towards the Fund's 80% requirement. The Fund selects investments without regard to this type of tax treatment.

Most of the securities the Fund buys are "investment-grade," although it can invest as much as 25% of its total assets in below investment-grade securities (commonly called "junk bonds"), which are subject to the special risks discussed below. Investment-grade securities are rated in one of the four highest rating categories of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations, such as Standard & Poor's (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Fund's Sub-Adviser, OppenheimerFunds, Inc., to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). The Fund also invests in unrated securities, in which case the Fund's Sub-Adviser, internally assigns ratings to those securities, after assessing their credit quality and other factors, in investment-grade or below-investment-grade categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Sub-Adviser's credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

The Fund does not limit its investments to securities of a particular maturity range, and may hold both short- and long-term securities. However, the Fund currently focuses on longer-term securities to seek higher yields. This portfolio strategy is subject to change. The Fund may invest in obligations that pay interest at fixed or variable rates.

The Fund can invest in inverse floating rate securities, a type of variable rate instrument, to seek increased income and return. Inverse floating rate securities are leveraged instruments and the extent of their leverage will vary depending on the security's characteristics. The Fund limits its investments in inverse floating rate securities as further described in this Prospectus under "Principal Risks."

The Fund can borrow money to purchase additional securities, another form of leverage. Although the amount of borrowing will vary from time to time, the amount of leveraging from borrowings will not exceed one-third of the Fund's total assets.

In selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio managers look at a wide range of Virginia municipal securities from different issuers that provide high current income, including unrated bonds, that have favorable credit characteristics and that provide opportunities for value. The portfolio managers may consider selling a security if any of these factors no longer applies to a security purchased for the Fund, but are not required to do so.

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. When you redeem your shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. These risks mean that you can lose money by investing in the Fund.

Main Risks of Investing in Municipal Securities. Municipal securities may be subject to interest rate risk, duration risk, credit risk, credit spread risk, extension risk, reinvestment risk and prepayment risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that when prevailing interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise; and when prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and they may be worth less than the amount the Fund paid for them. When interest rates change, the values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities.  Risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened given that interest rates in the U.S. are at, or near, historic lows. Duration risk is the risk that longer-duration debt securities will be more volatile and more likely to decline in price in a rising interest rate environment than shorter-duration debt securities.  Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security might not make interest and principal payments on the security as they become due. If an issuer fails to pay interest or repay principal, the Fund's income or share value might be reduced. Adverse news about an issuer or a downgrade in an issuer's credit rating, for any reason, can also reduce the market value of the issuer's securities. "Credit spread" is the difference in yield between securities that is due to differences in their credit quality. There is a risk that credit spreads may increase when the market expects lower-grade bonds to default more frequently. Widening credit spreads may quickly reduce the market values of the Fund's lower-rated and unrated securities. Some unrated securities may not have an active trading market or may trade less actively than rated securities, which means that the Fund might have difficulty selling them promptly at an acceptable price. Extension risk is the risk that an increase in interest rates could cause principal payments on a debt security to be repaid at a slower rate than expected. Extension risk is particularly prevalent for a callable security where an increase in interest rates could result in the issuer of that security choosing not to redeem the security as anticipated on the security's call date. Such a decision by the issuer could have the effect of lengthening the debt security's expected maturity, making it more vulnerable to interest rate risk and reducing its market value. Reinvestment risk is the risk that when interest rates fall the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds from a security's sale or redemption at a lower interest rate. Callable bonds are generally subject to greater reinvestment risk than non-callable bonds. Prepayment risk is the risk that the issuer may redeem the security prior to the expected maturity or that borrowers may repay the loans that underlie these securities more quickly than expected, thereby causing the issuer of the security to repay the principal prior to the expected maturity. The Fund may need to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate, reducing its income.

Special Risks of Below-Investment-Grade Securities. Below-investment-grade debt securities (also referred to as "junk" bonds) may be subject to greater price fluctuations than investment-grade securities, increased credit risk and face a greater risk that the issuer might not be able to pay interest and principal when due, especially during times of weakening economic conditions or rising interest rates. The market for below-investment-grade securities may be less liquid and therefore these securities may be harder to value or sell, especially during times of market volatility or decline.

     Because the Fund can invest up to 25% of its assets in below-investment-grade securities, the Fund's credit risks are greater than those of funds that buy only investment-grade securities.  This restriction is applied at the time of purchase and the Fund may continue to hold a security whose credit rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an unrated security, after the Fund's Sub-Adviser has changed its assessment of the security's credit quality. As a result, credit rating downgrades or other market fluctuations may cause the Fund's holdings of below-investment-grade securities to exceed, at times significantly, this restriction for an extended period of time. Credit rating downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers whose securities the Fund holds in significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund's exposure to below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk.  If the Fund has more than 25% of its total assets invested in below-investment-grade securities, the Sub-Adviser will not purchase additional below-investment-grade securities until the level of holdings in those securities no longer exceeds the restriction.

Special Risks of Virginia Municipal Securities. Because the Fund invests primarily in Virginia municipal securities, the value of its portfolio investments will be highly sensitive to events affecting the financial stability of the Commonwealth of Virginia and its municipalities, agencies, authorities and other instrumentalities that issue those securities. Budgetary stress on the state or its municipalities, changes in legislation or policy, erosion of the tax base, the effects of natural disasters, or other economic, legislative or political, or social issues may have a significant negative impact on the value of state or local securities.

Special Risks of Investing in U.S. Territories, Commonwealths and Possessions. The Fund also invests in obligations of the governments of the U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, or the Northern Mariana Islands to the extent such obligations are exempt from state income taxes. These investments also are considered to be "Virginia municipal securities" for purposes of this prospectus. Accordingly, the Fund may be adversely affected by local political, economic and social conditions and developments within these U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions affecting the issuers of such obligations.

     Certain of the municipalities in which the Fund invests currently experience significant financial difficulties. A credit rating downgrade relating to, default by, or insolvency or bankruptcy of, one or several municipal security issuers of a state, territory, commonwealth or possession in which the Fund invests could affect the market values and marketability of many or all municipal obligations of such state, territory, commonwealth or possession.

Municipal Market Volatility and Illiquidity. The municipal bond market can be susceptible to unusual volatility, particularly for lower-rated and unrated securities. Liquidity can be reduced unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. During times of reduced market liquidity, the Fund may not be able to readily sell bonds at the prices at which they are carried on the Fund's books. If the Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds to meet shareholder redemption requests or to raise cash, those sales could further reduce the bonds' prices.

Municipal Sector Concentration. While the Fund does not invest more than 25% of its total assets in a single industry, certain types of municipal securities (such as general obligation, government appropriation, municipal leases, special assessment and special tax bonds) are not considered a part of any "industry" for purposes of this policy. Therefore, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in these types of municipal securities. These types of municipal securities may finance, or pay interest from the revenues of, projects that tend to be impacted in the same way by economic, business or political developments which would increase credit risk. For example, legislation on the financing of a project or a declining economic need for the project would likely affect all similar projects.

Risks of Non-Diversification. The Fund is classified as a "non-diversified" fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, the Fund may invest a greater portion of its assets in the securities of a single issuer than if it were a "diversified" fund. To the extent that the Fund invests a higher percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer, the Fund is more subject to the risks associated with and developments affecting that issuer than a fund that invests more widely.

Risks of Tobacco Related Bonds. In 1998, the largest U.S. tobacco manufacturers reached an out of court agreement, known as the Master Settlement Agreement (the "MSA"), to settle claims against them by 46 states and six other U.S. jurisdictions. The tobacco manufacturers agreed to make annual payments to the government entities in exchange for the release of all litigation claims. A number of the states have sold bonds that are backed by those future payments. The Fund may invest in two types of those bonds: (i) bonds that make payments only from a state's interest in the MSA and (ii) bonds that make payments from both the MSA revenue and from an "appropriation pledge" by the state. An "appropriation pledge" requires the state to pass a specific periodic appropriation to make the payments and is generally not an unconditional guarantee of payment by a state.

The settlement payments are based on factors, including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette consumption, inflation and the financial capability of participating tobacco companies. Payments could be reduced if consumption decreases, if market share is lost to non-MSA manufacturers, or if there is a negative outcome in litigation regarding the MSA, including challenges by participating tobacco manufacturers regarding the amount of annual payments owed under the MSA.

The Fund can invest up to 25% of its total assets in tobacco-related bonds without an appropriation pledge that make payments only from a state's interest in the MSA.

Risks of Land-Secured or "Dirt" Bonds. These special assessment or special tax bonds are issued to promote residential, commercial or industrial growth and redevelopment. They are exposed to real estate development-related risks. The bonds could default if the developments failed to progress as anticipated or if taxpayers failed to pay the assessments, fees and taxes specified in the financing plans for a project.

Taxability Risk. The Fund's investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer's bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not be subject to federal and state income tax. Income from tax-exempt municipal securities could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws, adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities, or a court, or the non-compliant conduct of a bond issuer.

Main Risks of Borrowing and Leverage. The Fund can borrow up to one-third of the value of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) from banks, as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940. It can use those borrowings for a number of purposes, including for purchasing securities, which can create "leverage." In that case, changes in the value of the Fund's investments will have a larger effect on its share price than if it did not borrow. Borrowing results in interest payments to the lenders and related expenses.  Borrowing for investment purposes might reduce the Fund's return if the yield on the securities purchased is less than those borrowing costs. The Fund may also borrow to meet redemption obligations, for temporary and emergency purposes, or to unwind or contribute to trusts in connection with the Fund's investment in inverse floaters (instruments also involving the use of leverage, as discussed below). The Fund currently participates in a line of credit with other Oppenheimer funds for its borrowing.

The Fund can participate in a committed reverse repurchase agreement program. Reverse repurchase agreements that the Fund may engage in also create leverage. A reverse repurchase agreement is the sale by the Fund of a debt obligation to a party for a specified price, with the simultaneous agreement by the Fund to repurchase that debt obligation from that party on a future date at a higher price. Similar to a borrowing, reverse repurchase agreements provide the Fund with cash for investment and operational purposes. When the Fund engages in reverse repurchase agreements, changes in the value of the Fund's investments will have a larger effect on its share price than if it did not engage in these transactions due to the effect of leverage. Reverse repurchase agreements create fund expenses and require that the Fund have sufficient cash available to repurchase the debt obligation when required. Reverse repurchase agreements also involve the risk that the market value of the debt obligation that is the subject of the reverse repurchase agreement could decline significantly below the price at which the Fund is obligated to repurchase the security.

Main Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may involve significant risks. Derivatives may be more volatile than other types of investments, require the payment of premiums, can increase portfolio turnover, may be illiquid, and may not perform as expected. Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk and the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund's initial investment. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or a hedge might be unsuccessful. In addition, under new rules enacted and currently being implemented under U.S. financial reform legislation, certain over-the-counter derivatives are (or soon will be) required to be executed on a regulated market and cleared through a central clearing house counterparty. It is unclear how these regulatory changes will affect counterparty risk, and entering into a derivative transaction with a central clearing house counterparty may entail further risks and costs.

Inverse Floaters. The Fund invests in inverse floating rate securities ("inverse floaters") because, under ordinary circumstances, they offer higher yields and thus provide higher income than fixed-rate municipal bonds of comparable maturity and credit quality. Because inverse floaters are leveraged instruments, the value of an inverse floater will change more significantly in response to changes in interest rates and other market fluctuations than the market value of a conventional fixed-rate municipal security of comparable maturity and credit quality, including the municipal bond underlying an inverse floater.  During periods of rising interest rates, the market values of inverse floaters will tend to decline more quickly than those of fixed-rate securities.

An inverse floater is created when a fixed-rate municipal bond is contributed to a trust. The trust issues two separate classes of securities: short-term floating rate securities with a fixed principal amount that represent a senior interest in the underlying municipal bond, and the inverse floater that represents a residual, subordinate interest in the underlying municipal bond. The trust issues and sells the short-term floating rate securities to third parties and the inverse floater to the Fund. The short-term floating rate securities generally bear short-term rates of interest. When interest is paid on the underlying municipal bond to the trust, such proceeds are first used to pay interest owing to holders of the short-term floating rate securities, with any remaining amounts being paid to the Fund, as the holder of the inverse floater. Accordingly, the amount of such interest paid to the Fund is inversely related to the rate of interest on the short-term floating rate securities. Inverse floaters produce less income when short-term interest rates rise (and, in extreme cases, may pay no income) and more income when short-term interest rates fall. Thus, if short-term interest rates rise after the issuance of the inverse floater, any yield advantage to the Fund is reduced and may be eliminated. Additionally, because the principal amount of the short-term floating rate security is fixed and is not adjusted in response to changes in the market value of the underlying municipal bond, any change in the market value of the underlying municipal bond is reflected entirely in a change to the value of the inverse floater. Upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, a trust may be collapsed and the underlying municipal bond liquidated, and the Fund could lose the entire amount of its investment in the inverse floater and may, in some cases, be contractually required to pay the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying municipal bond and the principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities.

The Fund may invest in inverse floaters with any degree of leverage (measured by comparing the outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities to the par value of the underlying municipal bond). However, the Fund may only expose up to 20% of its total assets to the effects of leverage from its investments in inverse floaters. This limitation is measured by comparing the aggregate principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities that are related to the inverse floaters held by the Fund to the total assets of the Fund. Nevertheless, the value of, and income earned on, an inverse floater that has a higher degree of leverage (represented by a larger outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities) will fluctuate more significantly in response to changes in interest rates and to changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond, and are more likely to be eliminated entirely under adverse market conditions.

Who Is The Fund Designed For? The Fund is designed for investors seeking income exempt from federal and Virginia state personal income taxes. The Fund does not seek capital gains or growth. Because it invests in tax-exempt securities, the Fund is not appropriate for retirement plan accounts or for investors seeking capital growth. The Fund is not a complete investment program. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing.

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.

The Fund's Past Performance. The bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's performance (for Class A shares) from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns for one year, 5 years and the life of the Fund compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. The Fund's past investment performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Taxes. Dividends paid from net investment income on tax-exempt municipal securities will be excludable from gross income for federal individual income tax purposes. Dividends that are derived from interest paid on certain "private activity bonds" may be an item of tax preference if you are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Certain distributions may be taxable as ordinary income or as capital gains. The tax treatment of dividends is the same whether they are taken in cash or reinvested.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries. If you purchase Fund shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Sub-Adviser, or their related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
