Morningstar Flunks Oppenheimer Bond Fund

Morningstar gives Oppenheimer an 'F' for failing to disclose the additional risks it had taken on in its bond funds:

""The managers bought complex, off-balance-sheet swap contracts that created a leveraging effect on the funds," Gogerty said. The managers made no attempt to tell investors that the funds were taking on additional risk, he said."


The article states that "Oppenheimer failed investors by not telling them that two of its bond funds had recently taken on extra risk." The end result was that "Oppenheimer's normally stable Champion Income and Core Bond funds saw huge losses in 2008, dropping 78% and 36% respectively."
