You should work with your financial advisor to determine which portfolios are appropriate to your situation. There is always the potential to lose money when you invest in securities. Each underlying investment has its own risks. For example, the prices of small-cap stocks are generally more volatile than large company stocks. There are special risks inherent to international investing, including currency, political, social and economic risks. Investments in growth stocks may be more volatile than other securities. With value investing, if the marketplace does not recognize that a security is undervalued, the expected price increase may not occur. Fixed income investing entails credit and interest rate risks. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall, and the underlying investment s or account s value can fall. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss. Derivative instruments, investments whose values depend on the performance of an underlying security or asset, interest rate, index or currency, entail potentially higher volatility and risk of loss compared to traditional stock or bond investments. 9. Prior to 9/28/16, the Portfolio s name was Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Portfolio. You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.
