Full-Service Brokerage - Oppenheimer offers full-service brokerage covering investment alternatives, including exchange-traded and over-the-counter corporate equity and debt securities, money market instruments, exchange-traded options, municipal bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and unit investment trusts. A portion of Oppenheimer's revenue is derived from commissions from private clients through accounts with transaction-based pricing. Brokerage commissions are charged on investment products in accordance with a schedule which Oppenheimer has formulated. Discounts are available to and can be negotiated with customers based on transaction size and volume, as well as a number of other factors. In recent years, an increasing number of clients have chosen to do business through fee-based accounts.

Oppenheimer's clients include domestic and international investors, such as investment advisers, banks, mutual funds, insurance companies, hedge funds, and pension and profit sharing plans that are attracted by the research product, insights and market intelligence provided by the company's sales and trading staff, as well as by the quality of the company's execution (measured by volume, timing, price and other factors), and competitive negotiated commission rates.
Institutional Equity Sales and Trading — Oppenheimer acts as both principal and agent in the execution of its customers' orders. Oppenheimer buys, sells and maintains inventory to make markets. In executing customer orders for securities in which it does not make a market, Oppenheimer generally charges a commission and acts as agent, or will act as principal by marking the security up or down in a riskless transaction. When an order is in a security in which Oppenheimer makes a market, Oppenheimer normally acts as principal and purchases from or sells to its brokerage customers at a price which is approximately equal to the current inter-dealer market price plus or minus a mark-up or mark-down. The stocks in which Oppenheimer makes a market may also include those of issuers which are followed by Oppenheimer's research department.

Taxable Fixed Income
Oppenheimer employs over 110 dedicated fixed income sales and trading professionals in offices in the U.S., the United Kingdom (London), the Isle of Jersey (St. Helier) and Asia (Hong Kong). Oppenheimer offers capabilities in trading and sales; transacting in investment grade and high yield corporate bonds; mortgage-backed securities; U.S. government and Agency bonds; distressed loans; reorganization equity; trade claims and the sovereign and corporate debt of industrialized and Emerging Market countries, which may be denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. Oppenheimer also publishes desk analysis with respect to a number of such securities. Risk of loss upon default by the borrower is significantly greater with respect to unrated or non-investment grade securities than with investment grade securities. These securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer. These issuers usually have high levels of indebtedness and are more sensitive to adverse economic conditions, such as recession or increasing interest rates, than are investment grade issuers. Oppenheimer also participates in auctions for U.S. government securities conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on behalf of the U.S. Treasury Department, as well as those of government agencies such as the Federal National Mortgage Association, Government National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Banks and Farm Credit Agency.
Institutional Fixed Income Sales and Trading - Oppenheimer trades and holds positions in public and private debt (including sovereign debt) securities, including investment and non-investment grade, distressed and convertible corporate securities as well as municipal securities and trade claims. There may be a limited market for some of these securities and market quotes may be available from only a small number of dealers or inter-dealer brokers. While Oppenheimer normally holds such securities for a short period of time in order to facilitate client transactions, there is a risk of loss upon default by the borrower or from a change in interest rates affecting the value of the security. These issuers may have high levels of indebtedness and be sensitive to adverse economic conditions, such as recession or increasing interest rates. The company also engages in secondary trading activities related to the purchase and sale of distressed loans, primarily on a riskless principal basis.
Fixed Income Research - Oppenheimer has a total of 12 fixed income research professionals covering high yield corporate, mortgage backed, Emerging Market, and municipal securities. Oppenheimer's high yield corporate bond research effort is designed to identify United States debt issuances that provide a combination of high current yield plus capital appreciation over the short to medium term, as well as other special situations that may generate an attractive return. The company’s mortgage backed securities practice focuses on the detailed analysis of individual agency and non-agency mortgage backed securities. Research professionals cover Emerging Market fixed income issuers, focus on sovereign bonds and provide commentary on Emerging Market corporate bond issuers. Municipal bond research professionals are dedicated to the tax-exempt municipal bond market.
Public Finance and Municipal Trading
Public Finance - Oppenheimer's public finance group advises and raises capital for state and local governments, public agencies, private developers and other borrowers. The group assists its clients by developing and executing capital financing plans that meet the company's clients' objectives and by maintaining strong national institutional and retail securities distribution capabilities. Public finance bankers have expertise in specific areas, including local governments and municipalities, primary and secondary schools, post-secondary and private schools, state and local transportation entities, health care institutions, senior-living facilities, public utility providers and project financing, as well as lease financings through the issuance of taxable municipal bonds. In addition to underwriting longer-term municipal securities, Oppenheimer also underwrites municipal revenue anticipation, tax anticipation and bond anticipation notes for local government issuers, as well as short-term bonds for bridge financing and real estate projects.
Municipal Trading - Oppenheimer has regionally-based municipal bond trading desks serving the company's retail financial advisors and their clients. The desks serve Oppenheimer's financial advisors in supporting their high-net-worth clients' needs for taxable and non-taxable municipal securities. The firm also maintains a dedicated institutional municipal bond sales and trading effort focused on serving mid-tier and national institutional accounts. The institutional desks assist in distributing municipal securities originated by the Public Finance Department.
Proprietary Trading and Investment Activities
In the regular course of its business, Oppenheimer takes securities positions as a market maker and/or principal to facilitate customer transactions and for investment purposes. In making markets and when trading for its own account, Oppenheimer exposes its own capital to the risk of fluctuations in market value. In 2010, Congress enacted the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the 'Dodd-Frank Act') that prohibits proprietary trading by certain financial institutions (the 'Volcker Rule') except where facilitating customer trades. The Volcker Rule went into effect in July 2015 and does not impact the company's business or operations as it applies to banks and other subsidiaries of bank holding companies only. In recent years, the Volcker Rule has been relaxed in some regards in order to increase liquidity for client transactions.
The size of Oppenheimer's securities positions and other financial instrument holdings varies substantially based upon economic and market conditions, allocations of capital, underwriting commitments and trading volume. Also, the aggregate value of inventories of securities which Oppenheimer may carry is limited by the Net Capital Rule.
The company, through its subsidiaries, holds investments as general partner in a range of investment partnerships (hedge funds, fund of funds, private equity partnerships and real estate partnerships) which are offered to Oppenheimer hedge fund-qualified clients and on a limited basis to qualified clients of other broker-dealers. The company may also take proprietary long-term investment positions in private companies where the company believes the investment has the possibility of growth in the value of the investment based on the intrinsic business. Any such investments may also be a pre-cursor to offering participations in such investments through private early round partnership interests to qualified high net worth investors.
