Connect to Oppenheimer & Co. with ZagTrader

Who is Oppenheimer & Co.?

Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. is a full-service investment firm headquartered in the United States, combining a long-standing wealth-management business with institutional sales, trading, research, and investment banking. Through this breadth, the firm serves individual and high-net-worth investors, financial advisers, and institutional clients, acting as a broker, dealer, and adviser across equities and fixed income as well as a provider of capital-markets and advisory services. Its wealth-management arm and its institutional franchise sit alongside one another under one established brand.

For asset managers, advisers, brokers, and institutions, Oppenheimer is a recognized full-service counterparty with coverage spanning execution, research, and banking. Its combination of private-client and institutional businesses makes it both an execution destination and, for many clients, a custodian and adviser. Reaching that counterparty through a stable, certified, and well-monitored connection is a practical requirement for any desk that routes orders to it, and that is the role ZagTrader is built to fill.

How ZagTrader connects and routes to Oppenheimer & Co.

ZagTrader provides institutional connectivity to Oppenheimer & Co. through certified FIX sessions, established and tested so that order flow, executions, and acknowledgements travel over resilient, monitored links. The same connectivity supports direct market access (DMA) workflows, allowing desks to send orders through Oppenheimer to the venues and liquidity it provides while retaining full control and visibility on the trading blotter.

Connectivity is delivered as part of ZagTrader's integrated Order Management System (OMS) and Execution Management System (EMS). Traders work from a unified blotter, apply pre-trade compliance and risk checks, and use smart order routing logic to direct orders appropriately before they leave the desk. Drop-copy sessions provide an independent, real-time stream of execution and order-status messages for reconciliation, surveillance, and risk monitoring. Because order management, execution, routing, and post-trade share one platform, there are no brittle hand-offs between disconnected systems.

• Certified FIX sessions for order entry, execution reports, and acknowledgements.
• Direct market access (DMA) order flow with full blotter visibility.
• Smart order routing managed within the OMS/EMS before orders are sent.
• Drop-copy sessions for independent reconciliation and surveillance.
• Pre-trade compliance and risk checks applied before orders leave the desk.

Markets and assets you can access

As a full-service investment bank and broker-dealer, Oppenheimer & Co. offers execution and liquidity across a range of asset classes, with established franchises in both equities and fixed income alongside its wealth-management and capital-markets activities. Routing through it via ZagTrader's multi-asset platform lets a desk reach that coverage from a single, consistent workflow rather than maintaining separate tools per product line. The specific instruments, accounts, and services available always depend on a client's own agreements and onboarding with the firm.

• Equities — cash equities and related execution services across U.S. and global markets.
• Fixed income — government, corporate, municipal, and other debt instruments.
• Listed derivatives — options and futures for hedging and risk management.
• Funds — access to a range of fund and investment products.
• Wealth and advisory accounts available under the relevant client agreements.
• Other instruments and services available under the relevant client agreements.

Post-trade, settlement, and reporting

Execution is only the first step in the trade lifecycle, and ZagTrader is built to carry flow routed to Oppenheimer & Co. all the way through to booking. Fills captured over FIX and confirmed via drop-copy feed straight into the platform's post-trade processing, so that trades, allocations, and positions are kept consistent without manual re-keying — including positions held in custody where the firm acts as custodian for private-client and advisory accounts.

The platform supports trade confirmation and allocation, generation of settlement instructions, and reconciliation against counterparty, custodian, and clearing records. Settlement and safekeeping themselves take place through the relevant market infrastructure and the client's own custody and clearing arrangements with the firm; ZagTrader's role is to manage the order and post-trade data flow accurately around that process. Reporting and audit-ready record keeping are produced from the same source of truth that runs from order inception, helping desks reconcile positions and meet their internal control and regulatory obligations.

Why route to Oppenheimer & Co. through ZagTrader

Routing to Oppenheimer & Co. through ZagTrader means consolidating execution, routing, risk, compliance, and post-trade onto one multi-asset front-to-back platform instead of stitching together separate systems for each function. A single OMS/EMS blotter spans Oppenheimer alongside other supported brokers, custodians, and venues, so traders manage their full book in one place and operations work from one consistent set of records — including reconciliation against assets held in custody at the firm.

Certified FIX connectivity and drop-copy reconciliation give desks confidence that what was sent, executed, and booked all agree, while smart order routing and pre-trade controls keep execution disciplined. As needs grow, the same platform scales to additional counterparties, asset classes, and markets without re-platforming, making ZagTrader a durable foundation for desks that route institutional and private-client flow to Oppenheimer and beyond.

• Smart order routing and pre-trade compliance and risk controls.
