  NOTES TO STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS   Unaudited  

 

Risks of Investing in the Underlying Funds. Each of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Fund’s investments and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in one Underlying Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Underlying Fund.

Investment in Oppenheimer Master Limited Partnerships (“MLP”). The Fund is permitted to invest in entities sponsored and/or advised by the Manager or an affiliate. Certain of these entities in which the Fund invests are mutual funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that expect to be treated as partnerships for tax purposes, specifically Oppenheimer SteelPath Master MLP Fund, LLC (the “MLP Fund”). The MLP Fund has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Fund’s investments and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares.

The investment objective of Oppenheimer SteelPath Master MLP Fund, LLC is to seek long-term capital appreciation. It seeks to achieve this objective by investing primarily in equity securities of a minimum of forty Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). These securities represent limited partnership interests in energy infrastructure assets.

The Fund’s investment in the MLP Fund is included in the Statement of Investments. The Fund recognizes income and gain (loss) on its investment in the MLP Fund according to its allocated pro-rata share, based on its relative proportion of total outstanding MLP Fund shares held, of the total net income (loss) earned and the net gain (loss) realized on investments sold by the MLP Fund. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the MLP Fund’s expenses, including its management fee.

 

 

Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares based upon the net asset value of the applicable Underlying Fund. For each Underlying Fund, the net asset value per share for a class of shares is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading by dividing the value of the Underlying Fund’s net assets attributable to that class by the number of outstanding shares of that class on that day.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a “fair valuation” for any security for which market quotations are not “readily available.” The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

Valuations Methods and Inputs

To determine their net asset values, the Underlying Funds’ assets are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations as generally supplied by third party portfolio pricing services or by dealers. Such market quotations are typically based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities or other observable market inputs.

If a market value or price cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the “good faith” opinion of the Manager, the market value or price obtained does not constitute a “readily

available market quotation,” or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those Underlying Funds.

To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Manager, or its third party service provider who is subject to oversight by the Manager, regularly compares prior day prices, prices on comparable securities, and sale prices to the current day prices and challenges those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third party pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued by fair valuations, whether through a standardized fair valuation methodology or a fair valuation determination, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuations based on such methodologies and fair valuation determinations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.

Classifications

Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

1) Level 1-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)

2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The Fund classifies each of its investments in those Underlying Funds which are publicly offered and reported on an exchange as Level 1, and those Underlying Funds which are not publicly offered as Level 2, without consideration as to the classification level of the specific investments held by the Underlying Funds.

The table below categorizes amounts as of December 31, 2013 based on valuation input level:

    Level 1—
Unadjusted
Quoted Prices
    Level 2—
