About

Oppenheimer is a registered investment adviser and broker-dealer that serves individuals (including high net worth clients), corporations, pension and profit‑sharing plans, charitable organizations, pooled investment vehicles and IRAs. The firm offers a broad set of programs — including Fahnestock Asset Management (FAM), Alpha, consulting and retirement services, Preference and financial planning — delivered on both discretionary and non‑discretionary bases.

Advisory services span equity, balanced and fixed‑income portfolios and use strategic and tactical asset allocation, manager selection and periodic portfolio reviews; suitability reviews and branch manager oversight are part of the account‑approval and monitoring process. Consulting and retirement engagements are typically non‑discretionary and involve development of investment policy statements, asset allocation guidance and performance reporting tailored to each client’s objectives.

What is noteworthy compared with many enterprise peers is that Oppenheimer maintains custody of client assets as a qualified custodian while also operating its broker‑dealer and advisory businesses, and it reports a larger share of its advisory assets as non‑discretionary (about $22.48 billion of $36.71 billion managed). The firm also operates commission‑based advisory programs (for example, certain FAM and Alpha accounts) and runs a firm sweep program for uninvested cash that generates additional compensation to the firm, a potential conflict disclosed in its brochure.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
