Services, Fees and Compensation Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. (“Oppenheimer”) is a registered investment adviser, a registered broker-dealer and a member of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. Oppenheimer offers a number of advisory programs that are described in this Brochure. Services include discretionary and non- discretionary advice. The advisory programs described in this Brochure are called wrap fee programs because a number of services including investment advisory, custody, reporting are provided by Oppenheimer or its affiliate Oppenheimer Asset Management Inc. (“OAM”) for a fee and transaction costs are not incurred for transactions executed by Oppenheimer. This Brochure provides information about the following programs: OMEGA, OMEGA Retirement, Fahnetock Asset Management (“FAM”) Fee Only, FAM Retirement, Alpha Fee Only, Alpha Retirement, Preference Advisory, Preference Advisory Retirement, Advantage Advisory, Advantage Advisory Retirement, Portfolio Advisory Service (“PAS”) Financial Advisor Discretion, PAS Financial Advisor Discretion Retirement, UMA Financial Advisor Directed, and UMA Financial Advisor Directed Retirement. Information about the following advisory programs: FAM, Alpha, Investment Consulting and Execution Services, Retirement Services, and Financial Planning is provided in the Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. Part 2A firm brochure; however certain programs are administered by an advisory affiliate under common control. Oppenheimer as Fiduciary to You As a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”), Oppenheimer has an obligation to act as a fiduciary in the way that we provide advisory services to you. According to legal standards set forth under the Advisers Act., certain state laws and common law. What does it mean to act as a Fiduciary? - We need to act in your best interests. - We need to place your interests ahead of our own. - We must disclose material facts about our advisory programs. - We design our advisory programs to avoid conflicts of interest but if there is a potential for a conflict, we disclose the conflict to you. Our recommendations to you are based on our investment due diligence process and our understanding of your investment goals and risk tolerance. - We will not engage in principal trading (trades between your accounts and our proprietary accounts) without your consent. - We will disclose the fees that you pay and compensation that we receive. - We must have a reasonable basis for believing our recommendations are suitable for you and are consistent with your objectives and goals. When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) or individual retirement account or other account subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), such clients (“Retirement Plan Clients”) and such client accounts (“Retirement Client Accounts”), we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under this special rule’s provisions, we must: Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best interest; - Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent advice); - Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal advice); - Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments; - 4  - Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and - Give you basic information about conflicts of interest. Services The programs in this Brochure charge a “wrap fee”. Each program consists of the following services: Investment services of Oppenheimer and your Financial Advisor - - Trading, execution and settlement through Oppenheimer - Custody through Oppenheimer - Client reporting OMEGA Program and OMEGA Retirement Program Oppenheimer is the sponsor of the Omega Program, which provides discretionary portfolio management services to clients. Portfolio management services are provided by certain Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer that meet the program’s requirements. This means that your Financial Advisor is responsible for making and implementing investment management decisions for your account in accordance with the Omega program’s investment guildines. Omega accounts are designated as equity, balanced, fixed income, or mutual funds and exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) accounts. The services that are provided for the fee include portfolio management, performance reporting, agency transactions executed by Oppenheimer and custody services provided by Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer is the sponsor of an OMEGA program for Retirement Plan Clients. The Program is called OMEGA Retirement Plan. The OMEGA Retirement Plan program offers the same services as the OMEGA program. Preference Advisory and Preference Advisory Retirement Program Oppenheimer is the sponsor of the Preference Advisory (“Preference”) program. Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer provide non-discretionary investment advisory services to clients in the Preference program. In addition to advisory services, the Preference program provides custody and execution services through Oppenheimer. In the Preference Advisory program, Oppenhemer assists you in determining your investment objective and will provide you with periodic investment advice, but you make the investment decision. In your Preference account you may deposit and purchase assets that are Eligible Assets (as defined in your advisory agreement). The Preference program is not intended for high volume trading. Preference accounts that trade in high volume as deemed by Oppenheimer, may be terminated from the program or, for Non-Retirement assets, be subject to additional charges for trading activity above a threshold amount as described below. The threshold will be determined by the number of transactions multiplied by the charge per transaction ($50 per transaction for equity, bond, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) and closed end funds and $35 for option trades) divided by the asset based fee for the previous twelve months. If the ratio is one or less, your account will not be charged any additional fees. If the threshold ratio is above 1, each additional transaction will result in the following additional fees: $75 for bond transactions - The greater of $.10 per share or $75 for equity, ETFs or closed-end fund transactions - - The greater of $3.25 per contract or $35 for options transactions - Mutual Fund transactions will not be counted in determining the threshold ratio. These additional fees will be accrued and charged to your account. Oppenheimer has discretion to waive or reduce these additional fees. Additional fees will be counted in the denominator for purposes of determining the threshold ratio. These additional fees may be waived by Oppenheimer, based on client facts and circumstances. The Preference program will generally cost a client more than the cost of purchasing these services separately. 5  Oppenheimer is the sponsor of a Preference program for Retirement Plan Clients. The program is called Preference Retirement. The Preference Retirement program offers the same services with the same fee schedule as the Preference program, except that additional charges for trading activity are not charged. The Preference program allows for the holdings to be used as collateral for the purpose of borrowing funds. If a client wishes to do this, the Preference account will be linked to the client’s non-managed Oppenheimer brokerage account. The brokerage account will hold the margin loan balance and be charged monthly margin loan interest rate. A client may elect to carry the margin loan balance directly in the Preference account. In that case, the fee will be calculated on the total value of Eligible Assets without deduction for any margin loans outstanding. If you engage in short selling in your Preference Advisory account, your fee will be calculated on the proceeds from short sales. The current short position market value will not be used to calculate the value of Eligible Assets. Effective on or about May 2026, Oppenheimer will change the methodology of calculating fees in Preference accounts that hold a margin loan balance or have a short position. If a client has a margin loan balance in its Preference account, the fee will be calculated based on the total value of Eligible Assets after deduction of any margin loans outstanding. If client engages in short selling in its Preference Advisory account, the fee will be calculated on the proceeds from short sales. The current short position market value and margin debit balances will be used to calculate the value of Eligible Assets. Advantage Advisory Program and Advantage Advisory Retirement Program The Oppenheimer Advantage Advisory Program is a non-discretionary advisory program for the purchase of domestic equity securities, certain foreign equity securities, covered option strategies on domestic equity securities or indices, certain unit investment trusts (“UITs), load waived shares of certain open-end investment companies, shares of investment companies purchased with a load outside the program, business development companies (“BDCs”), exchange traded funds and fixed income securities (collectively, “Eligible Assets”) and interests in unregistered alternative investment funds (“Investment Funds”). The fee is calculated on the market value of maximum Eligible Assets (except cash) and on the net asset value of investments in Investment Funds, except for capital drawdown funds. With respect to capital drawdown funds, the fee is calculated either on the initial commitment amounts or the called amount/NAV consistent with how the respective fund charges its fee to its investors. The fee is in addition to any fees charged at the underlying fund level and, if purchased through a feeder fund, at the feeder level fund as well. A client must have an investment in at least one Investment Fund in order to maintain an account in the Advantage Advisory program. Fahnestock Asset Management Retirement Program Oppenheimer is the sponsor of the Fahnestock Asset Management program for Retirement Client Accounts (“FAM Retirement”). In the FAM Retirement program, Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer provide discretionary investment management services for Retirement Plan Clients, and accounts may include equity, balanced, fixed income or funds portfolios. The program offers the same services as the Fahnestock Asset Management program that is described in Oppenheimer’s Form ADV Part 2A brochure, but has a different fee structure. Fahnestock Asset Management Fee Only Fahnestock Asset Management Fee Only (“FAM Fee Only”) is an advisory program in which Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer provide discretionary investment management services for clients, and accounts may include equity, balanced and fixed income portfolios. Portfolio Advisory Service Financial Advisor Discretion Program and Portfolio Advisory Service Financial Advisor Discretion Retirement Program Oppenheimer is the sponsor of the Portfolio Advisory Service Financial Advisor Discretion Program (“PAS Directed”). The PAS Directed program provides discretionary management services for clients wth respect to investments in mutual funds as described below. Portfolio management services are provided by Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer. 6  In PAS Directed Oppenheimer selects mutual funds that appear to be appropriate in light of client’s investment objectives and provides quarterly performance reporting. Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer will be available to clients for consultation regarding the administration of an account, client's financial situation and client's investment goals, policies and constraints and risk tolerance. Oppenheimer is the sponsor of a PAS Directed program for Retirement Clients. The program is called PAS Directed- Retirement. PAS Directed Retirement offers the same services as PAS Directed. UMA Financial Advisor Directed Program and UMA Financial Advisor Directed Retirement Program Oppenheimer is the sponsor of the UMA Financial Advisor Directed Program (“UMA Directed”). OAM acts as overlay portfolio manager and your Financial Advisor has discretionary authority to select mutual funds or ETFs for your account. In UMA Directed, Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer select mutual funds or ETFs that are appropriate in light of a client’s investment objectives and provide quarterly performance reporting. Financial Advisors will be available to clients for consultation regarding the administration of an account, client's financial situation and client's investment goals, policies and constraints and risk tolerance. Mutual funds or ETFs may be selected by your Financial Advisor from a group of eligible funds. Some funds are on OAM’s Focus List. Funds on the Focus List are subject to a higher level of initial and ongoing review by OAM. Clients pay OAM a separate fee for the overlay portfolio management. OAM also provides tax management services in the UMA Directed program which is available to UMA clients that have at least $500,000 in their account. There is an additional fee for tax management charged by OAM. The maximum fee for tax management is 0.25%. This fee is negotiable. In order to enroll in the tax management service, clients must sign a separate agreement. For more information about tax management services in UMA Diirected program, please speak to your Oppenheimer Financial Adviser. Oppenheimer is also the sponsor of a UMA Directed program for Retirement Plan Clients. The program is called UMA Directed-Retirement Program. The UMA Directed-Retirement program offers the same services as the UMA Directed program described immediately above. UMA fees for Retirement Plan Clients have two components: - Advisory Fee - Overlay Portfolio Manager (“OPM”) Fee The Advisory Fee and the OPM Fee, together, constitute the Oppenheimer Fee. Alpha Fee Only (Retirement and non-Retirement fee only accounts) Alpha is an advisory program in which Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer provide discretionary investment management services for equity, balanced and fixed income portfolios. The fee for accounts in Alpha Retirement is a percentage of the value of assets in the account. The program offers the same services as the Alpha program that is described in Oppenheimer’s Form ADV Part 2A brochure, but has a different fee structure. Risks All trading in your account is at your own risk. For the purposes of this section, the term “portfolio manager” refers to your Financial Advisor in the applicable programs in the Brochure where the Financial Advisor acts as portfolio manager. Investment performance of any kind is not guaranteed, and past performance of Oppenheimer or your portfolio manager does not predict future performance. In addition, certain investment strategies that open end funds (including mutual funds, UCITs or ETFs) or closed end funds (collectively “funds”) or portfolio managers may use in the programs described in this 7  Brochure have specific risks, which include but are not limited to, risks associated with investments in common stock, fixed income securities, mutual funds, UCITs, ETFs, American Depositary Receipts and foreign securities, among others. Moreover, mutual funds or ETFs may pursue similar or substantially similar investment strategies and/or holdings. You should consider each fund’s investment objectives, costs and expenses and other relevant factors when determining what investment product is appropriate and consult with your Oppenheimer Financial Advisor regarding the specific risks associated with the investments in your account. OAM shall not be responsible for any misstatement or omission or for any loss attributable to such misstatement or omission contained in any fund prospectus, fact sheet or any other disclosure document provided to us for distribution to clients. General Risks: The success of any investment product or any portfolio manager may be affected by general economic and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws and national and international political circumstances. These factors may affect the level and volatility of securities prices and the liquidity of a portfolio’s investments. Unexpected volatility or illiquidity could result in losses. Investing in securities is speculative and entails risk. High portfolio turnover of a fund may incur higher transaction costs at the fund level, which may in turn detract from the returns of such fund. There can be no assurance that the investment objectives of any fund or any portfolio manager will be achieved or that its investment strategy will be successful. Risks of Exchange Traded Funds: Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”) are baskets of securities that are traded like a stock on an exchange. Equity-based ETFs are subject to risks similar to those of stocks; and fixed income-based ETFs are subject to risks similar to those of fixed income securities such as bonds (see “Risks of Equity Strategies” and “Risks of Fixed Income Securities” below). Investment returns will fluctuate and are subject to market volatility, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed or sold may be worth more or less than their original cost. The value of any ETF and thus the portfolio that holds an ETF will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities in the ETF reference basket. ETFs often trade for less than their net asset value. There may be a lack of liquidity in certain ETFs which can lead to a large difference between the bid-ask prices (increasing the cost to you when you buy or sell the ETF). A lack of liquidity can cause an ETF to trade at a large premium or discount to its net asset value. Additionally, an ETF may suspend issuing new shares and this could result in an adverse difference between the ETF’s publicly available share price and the actual value of its underlying investment holdings. At times when underlying holdings are traded less frequently, or not at all, an ETF’s returns also may diverge from the benchmark it is designed to track. Not all ETFs are diversified and certain ETFs contain significant concentration risks. Diversification does not ensure a profit and does not protect against loss in declining markets. The ETFs are actively or passively managed and generally have lower management fees and operating expenses than actively managed mutual funds. Risks of Mutual Funds and Closed-End Funds: An open-end mutual fund is a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Company Act”). A mutual fund is a collection of investor money pooled together to achieve a common investment objective, which is managed by a mutual fund manager who invests according to the mutual fund style or objectives. There are many different types of mutual funds for many different types of securities, going from conservative in style to aggressive or speculative. A closed-end fund is a type of registered investment company that, like a mutual fund, uses a professional manager to invest the fund's assets in a diversified selection of securities. The term “closed end” indicates that a limited number of shares are issued during an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”). Investments in mutual funds and closed-end funds generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track. Mutual funds and closed-end funds also have management fees that increase their costs as compared to owning the underlying securities directly. An investor in a mutual fund or a closed-end fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of the management and other expenses that are charged by such mutual fund or closed-end fund to its shareholders. Certain mutual funds and closed-end funds may be domiciled outside of the United States and therefore will not be subject to the Company Act, which imposes certain protective restrictions and regulations favorable to investors that invest in funds registered thereunder. Risks of Alternative Investment Funds: The specialized investment programs of alternative investment funds (such as, hedge funds and private equity funds) are speculative and involve significant risks including a complete loss of principal and should be considered as a supplement to an investor’s investment program. Additional risks include, but not limited to: 8  (i) A manager’s use of leverage, short selling and other derivative transactions, and limited diversification can result in significant losses to a fund’s portfolio; (ii) The incentive allocation may create an incentive for a manager or the investment adviser of a fund to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of such incentive allocation; and (iii) The funds’ interests or shares have limited liquidity and are subject to substantial restrictions on transfer. See the confidential private placement memorandum for the particular fund (“Memorandum”) you are interested in for further information on these risk factors and for a description of the risk factors associated with the specific strategy employed by that fund. Investors in a fund will be required to represent that they have read and understood the Memorandum and are qualified investors under the terms of the applicable Memorandum. Alternative investments are available only to qualified investors who meet certain financial criteria. Risks of Alternative Mutual Funds: Alternative Mutual Funds (“Liquid Alternatives”) are registered under the Company Act, but they use investment strategies that are different from those used by traditional mutual funds. Liquid Alternatives seek to accomplish the fund’s objectives through non-traditional investments and trading strategies, and may invest in assets, such as global real estate, commodities, leveraged loans, start-up companies and unlisted securities that offer exposure beyond traditional stocks, bonds and cash. In addition to the usual market and investment specific risks mutual funds have, Liquid Alternatives carry additional risks from the strategies they use, including but not limited to liquidity risk, leverage risk, derivative risk, valuation risk, counterparty risk, regulatory risk, specialized trading risk, manager risk, investment process risk and strategy risk. As Liquid Alternatives tend to be complex investments with potentially complicated tax implications, they are not appropriate for all investors and only may be offered to certain investors. Some Liquid Alternatives are newer products and may have a limited performance history. In addition, these funds may have higher operating expenses when compared with traditional mutual funds and as a result, over time, these fees could detract from long-term returns. Please refer to the applicable fund’s prospectus for additional information on expenses and descriptions of the specific strategies utilized by such fund. Risks of Master Limited Partnerships: Master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) are publicly listed securities that trade much like a stock, but they are taxed as partnerships. MLPs are typically concentrated investments in assets such as oil, timber, gold and real estate. The risks of MLPs include concentration risk, illiquidity, exposure to potential volatility, tax reporting complexity, fiscal policy and market risk. Currently, most MLPs operate in the energy, natural resources, or real estate sectors. Investments in such MLP interests are subject to the risks generally applicable to companies in these sectors (including commodity pricing risk, supply and demand risk, depletion risk and exploration risk). In addition, depending on the ownership vehicle, MLP interests are subject to varying tax treatment. If you have any questions about the tax aspects of investing in an MLP, please discuss with your tax advisor. Risks of Business Development Companies (“BDCs”): BDCs are closed-end investment funds that typically invest in companies that are in their early stages of development, or are distressed companies that may not be able to obtain bank loans or raise money from other investors. A non-exchange traded BDC is a BDC whose shares are not listed for trading on a stock exchange or other securities market. An investment in a non-exchange traded BDC has limited or no liquidity outside of the fund’s share repurchase program, and the fund’s share repurchase program may be modified or suspended. In contrast, an investment in a listed BDC is a liquid investment, as shares can be sold on an exchange at any time the exchange is open. Listed BDCs may be reasonable alternatives to a non-traded BDC, and may be less costly and less complex with fewer and/or different risks. Such listed BDCs will likely have a longer track record that investors can evaluate and transactions for listed securities often involve nominal or no commissions. BDCs typically have higher fees than other investment funds, like mutual funds or ETFs. Because management fees are typically calculated on gross assets, which would include leverage, the actual management fee charged to investors may be higher depending on the amount borrowed by a particular BDC. Also, BDCs’ operating expenses may be higher than those of other types of funds. For a list and explanation of fees associated with a BDC investment, you should review the fee table, which is available in the applicable fund’s prospectus, or other relevant fund documents, or ask your Oppenheimer Financial Advisor Risks of Equity Strategies: The value of investments in equity securities will fluctuate in response to general economic conditions and to changes in the prospects of particular companies and/or sectors in the economy. Risks of Specialty/Sector/Non-Diversified Strategies: Funds or portfolio managers that invest exclusively in one sector, industry or a single issuer involve additional risks, including a greater vulnerability to share price fluctuations than that of a 9  less concentrated strategy, because of increased concentration of investments or avoiding other investments. The lack of industry diversification subjects such funds/strategies to increased industry-specific risks. When strategies invest in a concentrated number of securities, a decline in value of these securities would cause your overall account value to decline to a greater degree than that of a less concentrated portfolio. Risks of Fixed Income Securities: There are risks associated with investing in bonds. These include risks related to interest rate movements (interest rate risk, spread risk and reinvestment risk), and the risk of credit quality deterioration (credit or default risk). Funds or portfolio managers that invest in lower-rated debt securities (commonly referred to as high yield or junk bonds) involve additional risks because of the lower credit quality of the securities in the portfolio. Such funds may lose all or some of their monies when investing in bonds and should be prepared to bear such losses. These risks need to be evaluated and effectively managed if a fund is to achieve the potential benefits of investing in fixed income securities. While a fund or a portfolio manager, as applicable, will seek to manage these risks, there is no guaranty that they will succeed in managing any or all of them. A fund or a portfolio manager may also seek to engage in workout or re- structuring agreements that are meant to enhance the value or safety of their investment position, however these actions may not result in added value. Risks of Tax-Free Municipal Bond Strategies: Municipal bonds are subject to the same risks as bonds in general, including interest rate risk, credit risk, reinvestment risk, and liquidity risk. The municipal market can be susceptible to unusual volatility, particularly for lower-rated and unrated securities. Liquidity can be reduced unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. There may be less public information available on municipal issuers or projects than other issuers, and valuing municipal securities may be more difficult. In addition, the secondary market for municipal securities is less well developed and liquid than other markets, and dealers may be less willing to offer and sell municipal securities in times of market turbulence. The value of municipal securities can also be adversely affected by regulatory and political developments affecting the ability of municipal issuers to pay interest or repay principal, actual or anticipated tax law changes or other legislative actions, and by uncertainties and public perceptions concerning these and other factors. Income from tax-free municipal bond funds may be subject to state and local taxation and the alternative minimum tax. Oppenheimer does not offer tax advice. Please consult with your own tax advisor. Risks of Absolute Return Investments: A fund or a portfolio manager may use leverage, engage in short sales and derivative transactions, invest in foreign or illiquid securities, and/or potentially have limited diversification, which could result in significant losses. The risk of shorting securities by such fund is theoretically unlimited. Risks of Small and Mid-Capitalization Companies: Investments in companies with smaller market capitalization are generally riskier than investments in larger, well-established companies. Smaller companies often are more recently formed than larger companies and may have limited product lines, distribution channels and financial and managerial resources. These companies may not be well known to the investing public, may not have significant institutional ownership and may have cyclical, static or moderate growth prospects. There is often less publicly available information about these companies than there is for larger, more established issuers, making it more difficult for OAM or the portfolio manager, as applicable, to analyze that value of the company. The equity securities of small and mid-capitalization companies are often traded over-the-counter or on regional exchanges and may not be traded in the volume typical for securities that are traded on a national securities exchange. Consequently, a fund or a portfolio manager may be required to sell these securities over a longer period of time (and potentially at less favorable prices) than would be the case for securities of larger companies. In addition, the prices of the securities of small and mid-capitalization companies may be more volatile and less liquid than those of larger companies. Risks of Real Estate Securities (including REITs): Investing in real estate securities may be subject to a higher degree of market risk because of concentration in a specific industry, sector or geographical sector. Real estate investing may be subject to risks including, but not limited to, declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general and economic conditions, changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the trust, interest/mortgage rates and defaults by borrower. Real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are vulnerable to interest rate risk, as increases in interest rates may reduce demand for REITs. REITs allow for investors to buy and sell shares on the public market exchange; however, these investments may be less liquid than other investments, such as stocks and bonds. The investor should note that there may 10  be added liquidity risk for REIT-focused strategies. REIT dividends are not subject to the favorable tax treatment of qualified dividends. Therefore, REIT dividends are taxed as ordinary income. Risks of Infrastructure-Related Securities: A fund or a portfolio manager that invests significantly in infrastructure- related securities have greater exposure to adverse economic, regulatory, political, legal and other changes affecting the issuers of such securities. Infrastructure companies may be focused in the energy, industrials and utilities sectors. A downturn in these sectors could have an adverse impact on such fund. Risks of Foreign Securities: Investments in foreign securities are affected by risk factors generally not thought to be present in the U.S. The factors include, but are not limited to, the following: currency risk, political risk, risk associated with varying accounting standards and less public information about issuers of foreign securities and less governmental regulation and supervision over the issuance and trading of securities. Investing in emerging markets may accentuate these risks. Purchasing foreign securities in an Oppenheimer account, such as ADRs (American Depository Receipts) or UCITS (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities), will involve additional expenses associated with the transaction. Risks of Mortgage-Backed Securities: A fund or a portfolio manager may hold funds/strategies that own mortgage and asset-backed securities. These products present special risks which may result in significant losses. Mortgage- and asset- backed securities are affected by interest rates, financial health of issuers/originators, creditworthiness of entities providing credit enhancements, prepayment and extension risks, and the value of underlying assets. Risks Relating to Derivatives: A fund or a portfolio manager may engage in derivative trading, which may include, among other things, futures, options, forwards and swap agreements and may be used in order to hedge portfolio risks, create leverage, or attempt to increase returns. Investments in derivatives may result in increased volatility and the fund’s portfolio may incur a loss greater than its principal investment. A risk of a fund’s or a portfolio manager’s use of derivatives is that the fluctuations in their values may not correlate perfectly with the overall securities markets. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. In addition, some derivatives are more sensitive to interest rate changes and market price fluctuations than other securities. The possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of a fund to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the fund to losses and could make derivatives more difficult for the fund to value accurately. When a fund invests in a derivative for speculative purposes, the fund will be fully exposed to the risks of loss of that derivative, which could sometimes be greater than the derivative’s cost. A fund could also suffer losses related to its derivative’s positions as a result of unanticipated market movements, which losses are potentially unlimited. Risks Relating to Options: Options trading involves a number of inherent risks and may result in substantial (and in some strategies potentially unlimited) losses. Covered calls do not provide a guarantee of principal. Writing covered call options is considered to be a conservative strategy to help boost income return of a portfolio of stocks. Covered call writing limits the upside profit potential of the underlying security. A fund will only gain the appreciation from its initial purchase price to the strike price plus the premium received from selling the call option and any dividends declared during the duration of the option. A fund gives up any price gains above the strike price. On the downside, a covered call strategy’s maximum loss occurs if the stock price goes to $0, minus the premium taken in from the sale of the call option. Options trading in general involves high risk and a fund can lose a significant amount of money. Investing in options or any other financial instruments involves high risk and may not be suitable for everyone. Assignments on a written call is always possible. Some option and option related strategies involve complicated tax assumptions, and accordingly, as with any transaction having potential tax implications, clients should consult with their own tax advisors. Accordingly, please be advised that any profits or returns on investments could decrease with the inclusion of transactional costs or fees, and that any losses could increase. Risks Relating to Merger Arbitrage: A fund or a portfolio manager may hold funds/strategies that engage in merger- arbitrage & event-driven investing. Merger-arbitrage and event-driven investing involve the risk that the adviser’s evaluation of the outcome of a proposed event, whether it be a merger, reorganization, regulatory issue, or other event, will prove incorrect and that such fund’s/strategy’s return on the investment may be negative. 11  Risks of Unit Investment Trust (“UIT”): A UIT is a SEC registered investment company that issues redeemable securities and invests in a portfolio of bonds and/or equity securities according to a specific investment objective or strategy. A UIT is a pooled investment vehicle in which a portfolio of securities is selected by the sponsor and deposited into the trust for a specified period of time. The portfolio of a UIT is designed to follow an investment objective over a specified time period, although there is no guarantee that the objective will be met. UITs can have many different investment objectives and strategies, including equity, fixed income, balanced, international, and global strategies, and strategies that focus on a particular market capitalization, investment style, economic industry or sector, or geographic region. UITs are passively managed and follow a “buy and hold” strategy, meaning that UITs buy a fixed portfolio of securities and hold on to that portfolio until their termination date at which time the portfolio is liquidated with the net proceeds paid to investors. UITs, thus, generally have a relatively higher risk of loss than other funds in the event of adverse changes in market or economic conditions. UITs have other risks, which may include management and securities selection risk, investment objective and asset allocation risk, stock market risk, equity securities risk, common stock risk, fixed income securities risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, capitalization risk, investment style risk, foreign issuer and investment risk, and emerging market risk. The degree of these and other risks will vary depending on the type of UIT selected. Also, investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and units, if and when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. In addition, an investor will pay the UIT’s fees and expenses, which are charged directly to a pool of assets in the UIT and are reflected in the unit price. The UIT’s fees and expenses are reflected in its prospectus. For additional information, speak to your Oppenheimer Financial Advisor. Custody Oppenheimer acts as custodian with respect to your assets in the programs described in this Brochure, unless you instruct as otherwise, as stated below. You may choose to use a custodian other than Oppenheimer with respect to your assets in the Omega program and, upon request, a non-U.S. custodian other than Oppenheimer with respect to your assets in the UMA program. If you use a custodian other than Oppenheimer, you (i) will pay the fees and charges of that custodian, (ii) authorize Oppenheimer to issue instructions to such custodian with respect to investment decision for your account, and will require the custodian to provide Oppenheimer with all reports regarding the Account., and to promptly notify Oppenheimer of any deposits or withdrawals from the Account, and (iii) understand that Oppenheimer shall not be responsible for any loss incurred by reason of any act or omission by any custodial selected by you. Fees The fees we charge are negotiable and may differ from client to client based on a number of factors including the type and size of the account and the range of client related services to be provided to the Account and may differ for a client depending on the programs selected. The maximum fee and minimum account size for each program are set forth in the table below. The minimum annual fee for an account in any program is $250. The minimum fee will not apply if the account is at least $50,000.00 or advisory accounts in a client’s household are at least $250,000. When we use the term “funds” in this brochure, we refer to open end funds (including mutual funds, UCITs or ETFs) or closed end funds (collectively “funds”). Oppenheimer & Co. Inc.

The maximum fee for tax management is 0.25%, which is negotiable. For more information about tax management services in UMA Directed, please speak to your Oppenheimer Financial Advisor Fee Billing Fees are billed monthly in advance. You will receive a pro rata refund of fees if you terminate your account before the end of a month. Fees for accounts will be adjusted in the next billing period for each contribution to or withdrawal from your account of $10,000 or more, netted on a daily basis. Oppenheimer periodically reviews the fees charged its advisory clients, and makes adjustments to ensure fees are in accordance with the fee schedules described in this Brochure. The adjusted fees may be rounded up or down to the nearest basis point. Advisory fees may be calculated based upon a different data feed than that used to generate account statements. The data feed will differ in its treatment of factors such as accrued interest and trades pending settlement. 13  Comparing Costs The fees charged for advisory programs may differ from what it would cost to purchase these services separately. Clients can purchase ETFs and mutual funds in their brokerage accounts without paying an advisory fee to Oppenheimer.You may pay more or less in an Oppenheimer wrap fee program than you might otherwise pay if you purchased the services separately. Several factors will affect whether your costs are more or less in a wrap program as compared to a brokerage or other type of advisory program including the following: Size of the portfolio - - Trading activity in the Account Your advisory fee will not be reduced if - Your account has low or no trading activity - You decide not to follow our investment advice in a nondiscretionary program - You decide not to access reports provided in the program The Programs in this brochure generally are designed for - Clients who want to implement a medium to long term investment plan - Clients who seek and plan to use the advice of an investment professional either in non-discretionary programs or discretionary programs - Clients who prefer the consistency of fee based pricing - Clients who want investment advice, custody, trading and execution services and performance reporting in an all- inclusive account rather than buying these services separately The fee structures for these programs may not be appropriate for clients who have the following expectations - A short term investment horizon - Expect to maintain high levels of cash or money market funds - Clients who want to hold and maintain highly concentrated positions - Clients who expect to make continuous withdrawals Certain strategies are available in several programs. The fees you pay will vary depending on the program you select and the structure of the program (i.e., unified managed account). Additional Fees The advisory fee describe above doesn’t include any dealer markups or markdowns in principal transactions with broker dealers other than Oppenheimer, or commissions charged by broker dealers other than Oppenheimer, ADR agency processing fees, odd lot differentials, Exchange or SEC fees, transfer taxes and any other charges imposed by law, or any expenses charged by funds including redemption charges, as further described below under “Funds in Advisory Program.”. Assets held in the account in cash will be invested at certain participating banks in the ABD Program.(See “Cash Sweeps” below). Funds in Advisory Programs Advisory accounts may include open end funds (including mutual funds, UCITs or ETFs) or closed-end funds (collectively “funds”). Investing in strategies that invest in funds is more expensive than other investment options in your advisory account. Assets held in these funds are subject to various fees and expenses, including share class related fees, paid to the fund and ultimately borne by the investor. Shareholders in these funds bear their proportionate share of the expenses of such funds. These fees will be in addition to and not offset against the wrap fees for the account. Investors should review and consider these additional fees carefully. If mutual fund shares are transferred from your brokerage account at Oppenheimer into your advisory account, we will redeem the last 12 month of the commission (load) incurred with respect to such funds. 14  Oppenheimer receives marketing, distribution and/or service fees (referred to as “12b-1 fees”) as a result of investments in certain mutual funds. Mutual funds generally offer multiple share classes, some of which do not result in 12b-1 fees. Any 12b-1 fees paid to Oppenheimer attributable to mutual fund shares held in your advisory account will be credited back to clients by the firm on a monthly basis for those days that the account is managed. The payment of 12b-1 fees presents a conflict of interest for OAM and Oppenheimer and provides an incentive to recommend investments based on the compensation received from the receipt of 12b-1 fees, rather than on a client’s needs or the existence of a less expensive share class even when a client is eligible for a lower-cost share class of the same fund. The firm mitigates this conflict by crediting back 12b-1 fees to the client. OAM advisory programs make available mutual funds which offer various classes of shares, including shares generally designated as Class A shares or other classes that pay 12b-1 fees, and certain shares classes that do not pay 12b-1 fees. In other instances, a mutual fund may offer only classes that pay 12b-1 fees, but another similar mutual fund may be available that offers share classes that do not pay 12b-1 fees. It is generally more expensive for a client to own shares that pay a 12b-1 fee. By offering 12b-1 share classes as well as non-12b-1 share classes, a conflict of interest exists for OAM, Oppenheimer and Financial Advisors because there is a financial incentive for the Financial Advisor to recommend a more expensive 12b-1 fee paying share class even when a client is eligible for a lower-cost share in the same or a comparable mutual fund. The firm mitigates this conflict by crediting back to the client 12b-1 fees received. Certain funds pay Oppenheimer a system support or networking fee per client account. Oppenheimer retains these fees. UITs in Advisory Programs Accounts in certain programs described in this brochure may include Unit Investment Trusts (“UITs”). Investing in UITs is typically more expensive than other investment options offered in your advisory account. In addition to your advisory fee, you will pay the UIT’s fees and expenses, which are charged directly to the pool of assets in the UIT and are refected in the unit price. UITs may be purchased in fee based advisory accounts if purchased on an agency basis at a 50 basis point charge, none of which is paid to Oppenheimer, but is charged by the UIT sponsor. A UIT’s fees and expenses are stated in its prospectus. For additional information, speak to your Oppenheimer Financial Advisor. Cash Sweeps Cash balances in all programs sponsored by OAM that are held at Oppenheimer are invested automatically in certain participating banks in the Advantage Bank Deposit Program (the “ABD Program”). Oppenheimer receives a fee from each deposit bank. The amount of the fee paid to Oppenheimer will affect the interest rate paid on Deposit Accounts. To the extent more of the fee paid is retained by Oppenheimer the interest rate paid to clients on Deposit Accounts will be less. The ABD Program is significantly more profitable to Oppenheimer than money market fund sweep vehicles. The fee payable to Oppenheimer may be as high as 5% of the household balances invested in the ABD Program. Oppenheimer retains fees earned on cash deposits for accounts in the ABD Program. OAM also charges an advisory fee on those cash balances. OAM earns advisory revenue on cash balances invested in the ABD Program and Oppenheimer earns administrative fees paid by bank participants for administration. Clients in non-discretionary advisory programs should compare their non-discretionary advisory programs to a brokerage account that does not charge a fee to the Client on cash balances or to a money market mutual fund. Oppenheimer does receive administrative fees in the ABD Program in brokerage accounts. For certain programs in which OAM exercises investment discretion, OAM determines the level of cash in the account. This creates a conflict of interest for Oppenheimer and OAM because we are paid both the advisory fee and the bank administration fee. OAM believes this conflict is mitigated due to the fact that OAM employees that exercise discretion over an account do not receive a portion of the bank administrative fee. Money market mutual funds are available as alternative solutions to the ABD Program. However, the client or the client’s Financial Advisor must request access to these funds for advisory accounts as all cash held in advisory accounts is currently invested automatically in the ABD Program. Money market mutual funds also have different risk and return profiles than the ABD Program, including that most money market funds do not qualify for FDIC insurance. Clients should consult with their Financial Advisor to compare money market mutual funds with the ABD Program. OAM’s advisory fee is charged on all assets in an advisory account including cash in advisory accounts custodied at Oppenheimer, for which Oppenheimer also receives the ABD Program fee. When OAM exercises discretion, OAM can determine the level of cash in the account. 15  Compensation to Financial Advisors; Discounting Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer receive a portion of the fee paid by their clients in the advisory programs. The amount of this compensation may be more than what the Financial Advisor would receive if the client participated in other programs or paid separately for investment advice, brokerage and other services. A Financial Advisor may therefore have a financial incentive to recommend a particular advisory program over other programs or services. Oppenheimer Branch Managers review each new advisory account for suitability. Financial Advisors can charge clients up to the maximum fee for each program. Financial Advisors receive less than their standard payout when accounts are priced below certain levels. This creates an incentive for Financial Advisors to price accounts at or above certain levels. All assets held at Oppenheimer (including brokerage assets) that are part of your client relationship may be used by your Financial Advisor to determine pricing for your advisory accounts. Selection of Advisory Program by Retirement Plans and Other Clients Oppenheimer Financial Advisors provide Retirement Plan Clients with information about various advisory programs offered by Oppenheimer. No representative of Oppenheimer has provided individualized advice or recommendations based on the particular needs of the retirement needs of the retirement plan regarding the selection of an advisory program. Such selection will be made by the retirement plan’s Responsible Plan Fiduciary. Certain strategies are available in several programs. The fees you pay will vary depending on the program you select and the structure of the program (i.e., unified managed account). When choosing an advisory program, clients should ask about other programs offered by Oppenheimer. Although there are differences in compensation structure among programs, there also are differences in the strategies and services provided. The OMEGA program has specific investment guidelines. Financial Advisors may recommend the Alpha program to investors who want their account to be more concentrated or to engage in short selling strategies, which are not permitted in OMEGA accounts. OMEGA, FAM, UMA Directed, PAS Directed and Alpha are programs in which the Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer provide discretionary management services. Oppenheimer Asset Management Inc. (“OAM”), an affiliate of Oppenheimer, offers programs that provide management services from a variety of portfolio managers and managers of mutual funds. For more information about advisory wrap programs offered by OAM, please see OAM Wrap Fee Program Brochure. Branch Managers review and approve each advisory account for suitability before it is opened and review trading activity in advisory accounts that are managed on a discretionary basis by Financial Advisors. Item 5. Account Requirements and Types of Clients Minimum account sizes for the programs are set forth in the table in item 4. Oppenheimer may waive these minimums in its discretion. Clients in the programs described herein include individuals, high net worth individuals, corporations, IRAs, pooled investment vehicles, charitable organizations, trusts, pension and profit sharing plans and business entities. To enroll in any of the OMEGA, Preference, PAS Directed and UMA Directed programs you must complete a risk tolerance questionnaire with the assistance of your Financial Advisor. You would then enter into the advisory agreement which would govern the terms of your existing and future advisory accounts for those programs. The other programs covered by this brochure have separate agreements and require additional documentation. You also will be required to execute a brokerage agreement with Oppenheimer. Item 6. Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation Eligible Financial Advisors; 16  Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer must submit an application to become an OMEGA, Preference, PAS Directed or UMA Directed Financial Advisor. The application must be approved by the Financial Advisor’s Branch Manager and by the OAM Program Administration team. Approval is based on a review of the Financial Advisor’s investment experience. All Omega Finacial Advisers receive training in portfolio management techniques before they open OMEGA accounts for clients. Clients select the Oppenheimer Financial Advisor to manage their discretionary advisory accounts or to provide advisory services for their non-discretionary account. Before enrolling in one of these programs, clients must complete a risk tolerance questionnaire. Client’s answers to questions about their risk tolerance, expectations for withdrawals and investment goals are scored. The scores in the risk profile are used to determine whether proposed funds and/or managers for the client fall within pre-specified ranges of risk. clients also complete a new account form prior to establishing a brokerage account with Oppenheimer. Financial Adviser’s Performance Account Performance is made available to clients in a Quarterly Portfolio Review report (“QPR”). Performance is measured on a total return, net basis and presented inclusive of reinvested dividends (after the deduction of management and other fees). The QPR is presented on a trade date basis, reflecting holdings as of the day transactions are executed. Opppenheimer doesn’t use a third party to review performance information or to determine or verify its accuracy. See also “Review of Client Accounts and Performance Reports and Client Statements” below. Review of Client Accounts; Performance Reports and Client Statements The Program Administration groups and the Financial Advisor’s Branch Manager and Branch Office Control Officers review accounts for low activity. Financial Advisors are required to review client accounts on no less than an annual basis and document the review. The Program Administration groups may review a specific account, all accounts in the branch or accounts of an individual Financial Advisor. In addition, Program Administration may review trading or specific transactions within an account. The Program Administration groups monitor trading in accounts on a periodic basis to determine that securities purchased are eligible for the respective program. The Program Administration groups also monitor accounts in an effort to ensure that they are not charged commissions and transactions are not executed on a principal basis with Oppenheimer. OMEGA accounts are reviewed on an ongoing basis by Program Administration and the OMEGA Financial Advisor against established diversification guidelines. In all programs covered by this Brochure, the Financial Advisor monitors accounts and makes adjustments to allocations and/or investments as, or if, necessary based on the client’s objectives. The Financial Advisor uses funds with which Oppenheimer currently has an active selling agreement and have been determined to be “program eligible.” Fund eligibility is monitored on a periodic basis. PAS Directed and UMA Directed portfolios are required to be broadly diversified and allocation guidelines and trade restrictions are monitored by the Client Services Group of OAM and the Financial Advisor. Portfolio suitability is also measured by an application program that is run before an account is opened or an allocation to PAS is made. At the account opening OAM uses a proprietary desktop computer application called Portfolio Guidance and Analysis (“PGA”) to support its initial suitability review process for the UMA Directed, OMEGA, Preference and PAS Directed programs. Before enrolling in one of these programs, clients complete a risk tolerance questionnaire. Clients also complete a new account form prior to establishing a brokerage account with Oppenheimer. A client’s answers to questions about their risk tolerance, expectations for withdrawals and investment goals are scored. The scores in the client’s risk profile are used to determine whether the initial proposal of managers and/or funds for the client fall within pre-specified ranges of risk. The Client Services Group of OAM performs the following periodic reviews: Average Price Control Accounts Reconciliation A daily review is performed to reconcile block trades versus customer allocations in the trading control accounts. The purpose of the review is to identify and correct any differences to ensure client allocations are complete and accurate. 17  OMS Capacity Discrepancy Report OMS Capacity Discrepancy alert is a daily alert that monitors the capacity of all order management system trades. The purpose of the report is to identify any trades not executed in an agency capacity so that they can be corrected. As stated above, OAM provides clients with access to a quarterly Portfolio Review report (“QPR”) that includes performance, as well as risk evaluation for advisory accounts. Performance reports include performance of the account for the most recent quarter end, year to date, and for past one, three and five year periods, if applicable, compared to benchmark indexes. Performance is measured on a total return, net basis and presented inclusive of reinvested dividends (after the deduction of management and other fees). The QPR is prepared on a “trade date” basis, reflecting holdings as of the day transactions are executed. Clients also receive a monthly custodian account statement from Oppenheimer for accounts that are custodied at Oppenheimer if there is activity in the account for that month. The custodian statement shows each security held in the account and each transaction executed during the month, as well as contributions to the account and withdrawals from the account during the month. The montly account statements report holdings on a “settlement date” basis, which is typically three business days (or less) after the trade date. Market values in the QPR include accrued income, which is not included in the Oppenheimer account statement Clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities and types of securities. Accounts are managed to meet individual client needs and objectives. Certain Oppenheimer Financial Advisors also manage accounts or provide advisory services that are not in the Programs described in this Brochure. Financial Advisors may manage accounts in the Alpha program, a discretionary advisory program that charges commissions only, and the Fahnestock Asset Management program, a discretionary advisory program that charges an asset based fee and commissions, and FAM Fee Only, which charges an asset based fee. OMEGA accounts must meet the diversification requirements of the OMEGA program. Accounts in the Alpha and FAM programs may be managed according to more customized guidelines. Activity in FAM Retirement, FAM Fee Only and Alpha Retirement program accounts is reviewed by the Financial Advisor’s Branch Manager pursuant to specific written supervisory procedures that include unusual, suspicious or otherwise inappropriate activity utilizing various reports. Branch Managers review for potential conflicts between Financial Advisors and clients with respect to trading activity and outside business activities. Branch Managers review each account for suitability before it is opened and review trading activity in managed accounts that are managed on a discretionary basis Clients receive brokerage confirmations for all transactions (unless they have elected to waive receipt of confirmations) and monthly brokerage statements (quarterly if there is no activity for the month) and a quarterly account statement. Investment strategies for OMEGA accounts vary by Financial Advisor and include strategic asset allocation and tactical asset allocation. Equity and balanced accounts may use value, growth and momentum investing strategies. Selection and Review of Funds Mutual funds, ETFs and alternative investment funds may be recommended by your Financial Advisor for certain programs from a group of eligible products. Some funds are on OAM’s Focus List. Funds on the Focus List are subject to a higher level of initial and ongoing review than eligible funds. Monitoring and Review Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation Funds Eligibility Operational standards, minimum asset levels, accessible in third party databases, length of performance history. Operational standards, minimum asset levels, accessible in third party database, length of performance history. 18  Funds Focus List Analysis of market performance and impact on portfolios, ongoing Qualitative and Quantitative review of performance, Qualitative review of standards used including firm history, asset breakdown, investment team, investment philosophy, investment process, and regulatory updates. Quantitative and Qualitative standards used including a review of firm history, asset breakdown, investment team, investment philosophy, investment process, trading infrastructure, compliance infrastructure, historical portfolio holdings, client service capability, risk evaluation, and historical performance. Advantage Advisory alternative fund investments Quantitative and Qualitative standards used including a review of firm history, investment team, investment philosophy, investment process, portfolio construction, exposure and risk management, investor base, asset growth, and historical performance. Ongoing qualitative and quantitative review of the firm, investment team, portfolio, performance and attribution, exposures, adherence to strategy/style, operational developments, asset flows, opportunity set for the strategy, and macro environment. Standards Used to Calculate Performance Performance Composites – We make available profiles of strategies and mutual funds on the Focus List and for certain eligible strategies not on the Focus list. These profiles include past performance information. Investment strategies and funds are assigned a risk category rating. The responses to the client questionnaire are used to determine an initial proposal of appropriate strategies and funds that are consistent with the client’s stated risk tolerance. The risk category ratings were developed to reflect investors’ expectations of risk and reward from conservative to aggressive. Conflicts of Interests The structure of our advisory programs entails certain conflicts of interest as discussed below. We address these conflicts by disclosing them to you in this Brochure and as further provided below. Financial Advisor Acting as Portfolio Manager; Advisory vs Brokerage Accounts In the programs in this Brochure where you Financial Advisor acts as portfolio manager, Opppenheimer (and in turn your Financial Advisor) retains a greater portion of the advisory fee than in the other advisory programs offered by Oppenheimer’s affiliate, OAM (not described in this Brochure) where an unaffiliated investment manager acts as your portfolio manager. Financial Advisor who acts as your portfolio manager satisfies Oppenheimer’s requirements to manage money in the applicable program(s), but is not held out by Oppenheimer as being more qualified than other Financial Advisers in such program(s), nor subject to the same level of review as is applied to third party investment managers in certain other advisory programs offered by Oppenheimer’s affiliate, OAM. Financial Advisors who act as your portfolio managers in the applicable programs described in this Brochure may have a financial interest in managing your account in the programs described in this Brochure instead of recommending another advisory program offered by OAM that utilizes a third party investment manager because of the portion of the fee that Oppenhimer pays to Financial Advisors that act as portfolio managers in the applicable programs described in this Brochure. This creates a conflict of interest for Oppenheimer and Financial Advisors, as there is a financial incentive to recommend a program, where Financial Advisor acts as portfolio manager. Oppenheimer, OAM and your Financial Advisor may earn more compensation if you invest the advisory program described in this Brochure, than if you open a brokerage account (although, in a brokerage account you will not receive all the services of the advisory programs set forth in this Brochure). In such instance, your Financial Adviser and Oppenheimer has a financial incentive to recommend a program described in this Brochure. We address this conflict by 19  disclosing it to you and by reviewing your account at account opening to ensure that it’s appropriate for you in light of the applicable standard of care. Conflicts related to Advantage Advisory Program Conflicts specifically related to Advantage Advisory Program are as follows: (i) incentive for Oppenheimer not to terminate an Investment Fund from the Approved Investment Funds List, or for a Financial Advisor not to suggest a withdrawal from an Investment Fund, because of a resulting reduction in advisory fees, and (ii) for Oppenheimer not to terminate an Investment Fund from the Approved Investment Funds List where Oppenheimer provides brokerage or other services to the Investment Fund, out of concern for the possible loss of the brokerage and other service business in retaliation by the Investment Fund. Oppenheimer will act as an uncompensated placement agent for the Investment Funds in the Advantage Advisory Program. Payments from Funds Oppenheimer receives 12b-1 fees as a result of investments in certain mutual funds. Mutual funds generally offer multiple share classes, some of which do not result in 12b-1 fees. Any 12b-1 fees paid to Oppenheimer attributable to fund shares held in your advisory account will be credited back to clients by the firm on a monthly basis for those days that the account is managed. The payment of 12b-1 fees presents a conflict of interest for OAM and Oppenheimer and provides an incentive to recommend investments based on the compensation received from the receipt of 12b-1 fees, rather than on a client’s needs or the existence of a less expensive share class even when a client is eligible for a lower-cost share class of the same fund. The firm mitigates this conflict by crediting back 12b-1 fees to the client. Certain funds pay Oppenheimer a system support or networking fee per client account. Oppenheimer retains these fees. See Item 4, “Funds in Advisory programs” for more information, Cash Sweeps Cash balances in all programs sponsored by OAM that are held at Oppenheimer are invested automatically in certain participating banks in the ABD Program. Oppenheimer receives a fee from each deposit bank. The amount of the fee paid to Oppenheimer will affect the interest rate paid on Deposit Accounts. To the extent more of the fee paid is retained by Oppenheimer, the interest rate paid to clients on Deposit Accounts will be less. The ABD Program is significantly more profitable to Oppenheimer than money market fund sweep vehicles. OAM earns advisory revenue on cash balances invested in the ABD Program and Oppenheimer earns administrative fees paid by bank participants for administration. For certain programs in which OAM exercises investment discretion, OAM determines the level of cash in the account. This creates a conflict of interest for Oppenheimer and OAM because we are paid both the advisory fee and the bank administration fee. OAM believes this conflict is mitigated due to the fact that OAM employees that exercise discretion over an account do not receive a portion of the bank administrative fee. See Item 4, “Cash Sweeps” for more information regarding the ABD program. Different Advice; Other Activities Oppenheimer and/or its affiliates perform other activities including research, brokerage and investment advisory services for clients not participating in the advisory programs described in this Brochure. Oppenheimer or its affiliates may give advice and take action for those other clients which may differ from advice given to clients in the advisory programs described in this Brochure. Oppenheimer may refrain from rendering any advice or services concerning securities of companies of which any Oppenheimer’s or any of its affiliates’ officers, directors or employees are directors or officers, or companies for which Oppenheimer or any of its affiliates act as financial advisor or in any capacity that Oppenheimer deems confidential, unless Oppenheimer determines in any instance, in their sole discretion, that they may specifically waive this provision. Oppenheimer or its affiliates, or their respective officers, directors, stockholders, employees (including your Financial Advisor), or any member of their families may have an interest in the securities whose purchase and sale Oppenheimer may from time-to-time effect under for its advisory clients in the programs covered by this Brochure. See also Item 9, “Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations.” 20  Financial Advisors acting as Portfolio Managers Description of Advisory Services In the programs described in this brochure (other than Preference Advisory, Preference Advisory Retirement, Advantage Advisory and Advantage Advisory Retirement), the Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer provide discretionary management services. See Item 4 above for a description of the services offered in these programs. Tailoring Services to Individual Clients; You can ask your Financial Advisor that acts as your portfolio manager in the applicable program to manage your account pursuant to a particular investment strategy, subject to the applicable program’s guidelines and other parameters as stated in this Brochure. Clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities and types of securities. Accounts are managed to meet individual client needs and objectives. Wrap Fee Programs Oppenheimer acts as the sponsor in the programs described in this Brochure. In addition, Oppenheimer (acting through its Financial Advisors) acts as a portfolio manager in the applicable programs described in this Brochure. Oppenheimer (together with OAM, as applicable) receives all of the client’s fees for its services provided in the programs described in this Brochure. Certain Oppenheimer Financial Advisors also manage accounts or provide advisory services that are not in the programs described in this Brochure. Financial Advisors may manage accounts in the Alpha Program, a discretionary advisory program that charges commissions only, and the FAM program, a discretionary advisory program that charges an asset based fee and commissions. As stated above, OMEGA accounts must meet the diversification requirements of the OMEGA program. Accounts in the Alpha and FAM programs may be managed according to more customized guidelines. Financial Advisors receive a portion of client’s advisory fee for their services in the Programs as described herein. Performance Based Fees The Programs do not charge performance based fees. Method of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Financial Advisors acting as portfolio managers in the applicable programs described in this Brochure may use any investment strategy when providing investment advice you, subject to the applicable program’s guidelines and other applicable parameters as described above. All investments entail certain risks, both systemic and non-systemic. Investments and asset allocation recommendations made by Financial Advisors may include financial, market, inflation, interest rate, credit, and loss of principal risks. Financial Advisors generally attempt to moderate and manage these risks through diversification. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Investing in alternative investment funds in the Advantage Advisory and Advantage Advisory Retirement Programs involves significant risks including lack of liquidity, lack of transparency and higher risk investment strategies that may expose an investor to lose all monies invested. See also “Risks” in Item 4 above. Proxy Voting Unless a client directs otherwise, Oppenheimer votes proxies for securities held in advisory accounts for the following programs: OMEGA, UMA Directed, FAM and PAS Directed. Oppenheimer has adopted policies with respect to the voting of proxies for client accounts, which are summarized below. Oppenheimer has engaged Glass Lewis & Co. Inc. (“Glass Lewis”) to provide research and advice on shareholder voting. Oppenheimer has reviewed and adopted Glass Lewis guidelines on proxy voting. ProxyEdge is integrated with voting recommendations from Glass Lewis and the system is set to automatically vote a meeting for all holders based upon the Glass Lewis recommendation. Although definitive voting decisions and / or recommendations made by Glass Lewis will be accepted, the Proxy Oversight Working Group (the “Working Group”) retains the authority to override the Glass Lewis recommendation during this process. From time to time Glass Lewis may not have specific guidance and thus the item is handled on a case-by-case basis. Certain case-by-case items, such as majority owner questions, may not require the convening of the Working Group. However, there may be certain case-by-case items that may require the convening of the Working Group. For proposals that fall into this category, the OAM Proxy Administrator will arrange for a meeting to be held by the Working Group. Working Group members will meet either in-person, telephonically, or electronically, and will vote in favor of what would be considered to be in the best economic interests of the clients. The final vote will be 21  determined by the Working Group’s majority vote prior to the voting deadline due date. Oppenheimer may consult with Glass Lewis for matters that are decided on a case-by-case basis. Certain FAM Portfolio Managers will vote proxies upon written request of the client. Those certain FAM Portfolio Managers will vote proxies for certain FAM client accounts using ProxyEdge without advice from Glass Lewis. Unless a client directs otherwise, Oppenheimer will not send annual reports, proxy statements and other materials issued by portfolio companies in which a client’s assets are invested. Clients may request information on how Oppenheimer has voted proxies for their accounts and may request Oppenheimer’s Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures by contacting: Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. 85 Broad Street, New York, NY 10004 Attn: Proxy Voting Department 212-885-4798 Oppenheimer does not vote proxies for securities held in Preference accounts or in other programs when not specifically directed to vote proxies. Clients will receive proxy materials from Oppenheimer as custodian with respect to any securities in those instances. Item 7. Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers The client’s questionnaire and a copy of the client’s advisory agreement are sent to the Financial Advisor who manages or provides services to the account. If a client communicates any change in financial circumstances that would affect the management of the account, that information generally is provided by the client to the client’s Financial Advisor. Item 8. Client Contact with Portfolio Managers Clients may contact their Financial Advisors at any time. Item 9. Additional Information Disciplinary Information (1) On May 4, 2016, the Securities Division of the Office of the Attorney General for South Carolina determined that Oppenheimer, without admitting or denying the findings, failed to detect and report the activities of a former registered representative and an unidentified representative relating to the representative’s recommendation that a client invest in private investments from November 2005 through October 2008. Oppenheimer was fined $150,000 and reimbursed costs of $25,000. (2) On June 7, 2016, Oppenheimer signed an AWC with FINRA in which FINRA alleged the firm sold leveraged, inverse and inverse-leveraged exchange-traded funds (non-traditional ETFs) to retail customers without reasonable supervision, and recommended non-traditional ETFs that were not suitable. FINRA found the firm did not establish an adequate supervisory system to monitor the holding periods for non-traditional ETFs. The firm failed to employ any surveillance or exception reports to effectively monitor the holding periods for non- traditional ETFs, so certain retail customers held non-traditional ETFs in their accounts for weeks, months and sometimes years, resulting in substantial losses. FINRA also found that Oppenheimer failed to conduct adequate due diligence regarding the risks and features of non- traditional ETFs and, as a result, did not have a reasonable basis to recommend these ETFs to retail customers. Similarly, Oppenheimer representatives solicited and effected non-traditional ETF purchases that were unsuitable for specific customers. 22  Oppenheimer neither admitted nor denied the charges, but consented to the entry of FINRA’s findings and was fined $2.25 million and ordered the firm to pay restitution of more than $716,000 to affected customers. (3) On July 19, 2016, the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, Corporations, Securities & Commercial Licensing Bureau entered into a Consent Agreement & Order In Lieu of Cease & Desist Proceedings with the firm to settle allegations of violations of the Michigan Uniform Securities Act (2002), 2008 PA 551, as amended. The violations related to the firm’s failure to register investment adviser representatives in Michigan. The agreement and order included a civil fine of $900,000. (4) On November 17, 2016, the firm was fined $1.575 million and ordered to pay $1.85 million to customers for failing to report required information to FINRA, failing to produce documents in discovery to customers who filed arbitrations, and for not applying applicable sales charge waivers to customers. The firm neither admitted nor denied the charges, but consented to the entry of FINRA's findings. FINRA found that over a span of several years, the firm failed to timely report to FINRA more than 350 required filings including securities-related regulatory findings, disciplinary actions taken by the firm against its employees, and settlements of securities-related arbitration and litigation claims. FINRA rules require firms to timely and accurately report required information, yet Oppenheimer’s procedures did not provide direction to its employees on making these disclosures. On average, Oppenheimer made these filings more than four years late. The firm also failed to timely disclose that its then Anti-Money-Laundering Compliance Officer and another employee had received Wells notices from the SEC. The firm had revised its supervisory procedures as a result of a prior FINRA investigation but failed to adopt adequate procedures that addressed a specific obligation to report regulatory events involving its employees. (5) On November 29, 2016, the firm signed an AWC with FINRA in which the firm was censured and fined $20,000. Without admitting or denying the findings, the firm consented to sanctions and the entry of findings that it failed on 43 occasions to provide written notification disclosing to its customer the call date and dollar price of the call in 43 transactions in municipal securities executed on the basis of a yield to call. The findings stated that the firm failed on three occasions to provide written notification disclosing to its customers the correct lowest effective yield in three transactions in municipal securities and provided on one occasion written notification improperly disclosing to its customer a yield to call in one transition in a municipal security with a variable interest rate. (6) On June 1, 2017, the firm signed an AWC with FINRA in which the firm was censured and fined $20,000. Without admitting or denying the findings, the firm consented to sanctions and the entry of findings that it purchased municipal securities for its own account from a customer and/or sold municipal securities for its own account to a customer at aggregate price that was not fair and reasonable, in six transactions. The firm was also ordered to pay restitution to clients in the amount of $10,301.44 plus interest. (7) On March 11, 2019, Oppenheimer and its affiliate Oppenheimer Asset Management Inc. (“OAM”) became subject to an order (the “Order”) with SEC that arose out of recommendations or purchases made by Oppenheimer or OAM for advisory clients during the period from January 1, 2014 through August 15, 2018 (the “Relevant Period”) of mutual fund share classes that charged 12b-1 fees instead of lower cost share classes of the same funds for which clients were eligible. During the Relevant Period, Oppenheimer and its Financial Advisors received 12b-1 fees for advising clients to invest in or hold such mutual fund share classes. Oppenheimer and OAM self-reported to the SEC the violations discussed in the Order pursuant to the SEC’s Division of Enforcement’s Share Class Selection Disclosure Initiative. Pursuant to the Order, Oppenheimer and OAM were censured and agreed to (i) pay $3,528,377 consisting of disgorgement of $3,169,123 and prejudgment interest of $359,254, (ii) cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and future violations of Sections 206(2) and 207 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”) and (iii) distribute the amount of $3,528,377 to affected investors during the Relevant Period. Oppenheimer and OAM also undertook to (i) review and correct as necessary all relevant disclosure documents concerning mutual fund share class selection and 12b-1 fees, (ii) evaluate whether existing clients should be moved to a lower cost share class and move clients as necessary, (iii) evaluate, update if necessary and review the effectiveness of implementation of policies and procedures so that they are reasonably designed to prevent future violations of the Advisers Act in connection with disclosures regarding mutual fund share class selection. 23  Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Albert Lowenthal, Executive Chairman , Robert Lowenthal, Chief Executive Officer , Edward Harrington, Executive Vice President, Private Client Services and Leon E. Molokie Jr., Executive Vice President-Chief Operations Officer, are registered representatives of Oppenheimer but generally do not function in that capacity. An affiliate of Oppenheimer is the managing member of several subsidiaries that act as investment adviser to registered investment companies and other pooled investment vehicles. These investment companies and pooled investment vehicles pay performance fees as well as management fees. Financial advisors receive a portion of the management fee and incentive fee paid by collective investment vehicles to affiliates of Oppenheimer and may have a financial incentive to recommend those collective investment vehicles. Oppenheimer also is a registered broker dealer and full services investment firm as well as a registered investment adviser. Oppenheimer provides services such as investment banking, equity research, institutional sales, municipal finance and debt capital markets. Oppenheimer Trust Company, an affiliate of Oppenheimer, provides trust services to high net worth individuals, not for profit organizations and businesses. Oppenheimer Trust Company may recommend Oppenheimer advisory programs or products to its trust clients. Mutual funds that may be purchased in any of the advisory programs mentioned herein do not pay any fees to Oppenheimer for participating in these programs. However, Advisers or distributors of mutual funds available in Oppenheimer advisory programs may pay for or reimburse for various costs relating to client and prospective client meeting sales and marketing materials and educational training and sales meetings held with Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer. These affiliates of mutual funds also may pay for the cost of reasonable entertainment in connection with Oppenheimer sponsored or client related events. Oppenheimer acts as the placement agent for the sale of interests in collective investment vehicles for which subsidiaries of OAM serve as investment advisor or general partner. Mutual funds and ETFs that are purchased in Oppenheimer advisory programs may have other business relationships with Oppenheimer, such as institutional trading. Oppenheimer Financial Advisors do not consider any such relationships when determining whether or not to recommend a mutual fund for one of the advisory programs. Mutual funds available in advisory programs also may be purchased by clients in their brokerage accounts, but may include the applicable sales charge. Certain fund companies pay Oppenheimer a mutual fund support fee for marketing, training operations and systems support with respect to mutual fund shares sold to clients in their Oppenheimer brokerage accounts. As stated above, UITs may be purchased in fee based advisory accounts if purchased on an agency basis at a 50 basis point charge, none of which is paid to Oppenheimer but is charged by the UIT sponsor. Purchases of UITs in fee based advisory programs are not taken into account for the payment of any volume bonuses by sponsors of UITs to Oppenheimer. Sponsors of UITs may have trading relationships with Oppenheimer. The existence of any such relationships is not a factor in the determination by a Financial Advisor to recommend the purchase of a UIT for an advisory program. Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer receive compensation for the sale of interests in private funds recommended by its affiliate OAM out of payments made by the funds to Oppenheimer. Certain private funds make higher payments to Oppenheimer than other funds on the OAM alternative fund platform and accordingly, Financial Advisors who sell these funds receive higher payments than they receive from selling other alternative funds. This practice represents a conflict of interest and gives Oppenheimer and the Financial Advisor an incentive to recommend investment products based on the compensation received, rather than on a client’s needs. Oppenheimer as broker-dealer receives remuneration, compensation or other consideration for directing customer orders for securities to particular market centers for execution. Such consideration, if any, may take the form of credits against fees due such market centers, monetary payments, research, reciprocal agreements for the provision of order flow, products or services or other items of remuneration. 24  Oppenheimer as broker-dealer may also receive payment for routing the options orders to designated broker/dealers or market centers for execution. Compensation may be in the form of a per contract cash payment. The source and amount of any compensation received in connection with options transactions and any additional information concerning the options order flow payments will be furnished upon written request. Research Oppenheimer has procedures in place to avoid improper communications between Oppenheimer research employees and employees of other Oppenheimer departments including Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer Research employees are generally prohibited from, among other things: • Discussing with any person outside of the Research Department and the Legal and Compliance Department any unpublished research reports, opinions or recommendations; • Recommending the purchase or sale of, a security ahead of the issuance of research or changes to a view on a security; • Recommending the purchase or sale of, a security of an issuer for any account while in possession of material non-public information on the issuer; • Providing unpublished drafts of research reports for review or approval to any non-Research personnel; • Providing unpublished drafts of research reports for review or approval to third parties, except pursuant to authorized gate-keeping procedures; • Making any oral, written, or electronic communication, either internally or externally, that is inconsistent with an analyst’s research, opinions or analysis; and • Disclosing material changes to opinions, recommendations or price target to select persons prior to general publication. Investment Banking In order to prevent the improper use of material, non-public information from one part of Oppenheimer to another, Oppenheimer has created “information barriers” or “information walls” around each department that holds this information. Each business unit that regularly holds customer confidential information (such as investment banking) is on the “Private Side” of the information wall. In contrast, each business unit that does not hold confidential information is on the “Public Side” of the wall. Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer are considered to be on the “Public Side” of the wall. Employees on the Private Side of each information wall are prohibited from providing any material, non-public information to employees on the Public Side of the information wall. Regulatory requirements prohibit Private Side investment banking personnel who are in possession of material, non-public information from discussing a pending transaction with individuals on the Public Side (or employees on the Private Side who do not have a “need to know”). Only those employees directly involved in or necessary to the due diligence process of an investment banking transaction are permitted to be brought “over the wall.” Payments from Other Investment Advisers Oppenheimer receives compensation from other investment advisers for recommending those advisers or their products to clients. Oppenheimer also acts as a selling broker-dealer for interests in certain collective investment vehicles managed by other investment advisers. In addition, Financial Advisors who recommend other advisers or interests in collective investment vehicles receive a portion of the advisory compensation paid to Oppenheimer under these arrangements. Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading Oppenheimer has adopted a written Code of Ethics pursuant to Rule 204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. A copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided upon request to any client or prospective client. The purpose of the Code of Ethics is to set forth standards of conduct expected of advisory personnel and address conflicts, such as front running, that arise from personal trading by advisory personnel. The Code of Ethics addresses these conflicts as follows: 25  1. Certain advisory personnel with access to the securities trading on behalf of advisory clients are deemed as “access persons”; 2. These access persons of Oppenheimer are required to certify that they are in compliance with the Code of Ethics on an annual basis; 3. Access persons are also required to provide compliance personnel with brokerage accounts through which they conduct personal trading; and 4. Access persons are required to execute securities transactions on behalf of advisory accounts prior to or at a better price than any securities transactions in the same issuer for personal accounts. Note, however, that personal accounts established as advisory accounts are treated the same as other advisory accounts. Oppenheimer and certain of its affiliates are engaged or may engage in investment activities for separate accounts for individuals and institutions or for their own accounts. These various accounts may from time to time purchase, sell or hold certain investments which are also being purchased, sold or held by other client accounts of Oppenheimer. For client accounts of Oppenheimer pursuing the same investment strategy, Oppenheimer will allocate investments among these accounts on an equitable basis, taking into account such factors as the relative amounts of capital available for new investments. Oppenheimer and its officers and employees devote as much of their time to the activities of its clients as Oppenheimer deems necessary and appropriate. A copy of this Code of Ethics may be obtained by contacting Brian Roth at Brian.Roth@opco.com. Oppenheimer effects transactions on an agency basis on behalf of its clients and as principal for its own account in those securities in which it makes a market. Oppenheimer may, on occasion, act as broker for an advisory client of Oppenheimer on one side and a client for whom it (or its affiliates) does not act as investment adviser on the other side of a securities transaction. All clients are advised through clauses in the advisory contract that Oppenheimer is a broker-dealer and may have a position or interest in securities which are recommended or purchased for their accounts. In their capacity as registered representatives of Oppenheimer, Financial Advisors may indirectly receive a portion of client commissions paid to Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer acts as the placement agent for the sale of interests in collective investment vehicles for which affiliates of Oppenheimer serve as investment adviser or general partner. Financial advisors of Oppenheimer receive a portion of the fees paid to the investment adviser or general partner with respect to client accounts in such funds. Review of Accounts See Item 6, “Review of Client Accounts, Performance Reports and Client Statements.” Client Referrals and Other Compensation Securities, including shares of mutual funds that are held in any of the Programs mentioned herein, also may be purchased by clients in their brokerage accounts without an advisory fee but with the payment of the applicable sales charge. Mutual funds that are available in the programs described in this brochure do not pay any fees to Oppenheimer for participating in these programs. Certain distributors of mutual funds available in these advisory programs pay for or reimburse for various costs relating to client and prospective client meetings, sales and marketing materials and educational training and sales meetings held with Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer. These affiliates of mutual funds also pay for the cost of reasonable entertainment in connection with Oppenheimer sponsored or client related events. Certain fund companies pay Oppenheimer a fee for systems support or net working fee with respect to mutual fund shares sold to clients in their Oppenheimer brokerage and advisory accounts. These payments are made by the fund manager for each client account in that fund. Oppenheimer retails these fees. For more information, see Item 4, “Funds in Advisory Programs.” Oppenheimer pays cash compensation for client referrals in accordance with Rule 206(4)-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 to registered investment advisers and may receive such compensation for soliciting clients for other managers. 26  Compensation paid is a percentage of the fee payable by the referred clients or a percentage of assets under management and may continue for the length of the client’s advisory relationship with Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer also compensates unaffiliated third parties such as other broker-dealers, accountants and consultants for client referrals in accordance with Rule 206(4)-1. Compensation paid is a percentage of the account assets under management or the fee payable by the referred clients’ assets invested in various Oppenheimer advisory programs, investment partnerships or private funds sponsored by Oppenheimer (only if investor is qualified); or a percentage of commission fees for accounts maintained at Oppenheimer in connection with Oppenheimer’s business as a broker-dealer. The client does not incur any additional fees as a result of such client referral arrangements. Oppenheimer as a broker-dealer receives remuneration, compensation or other consideration for directing customer orders for securities to particular market centers for execution. Such consideration, if any, may take the form of credits against fees due such market centers, monetary payments, research, reciprocal agreements for the provision of order flow, products or services or other items of remuneration. Oppenheimer as a broker-dealer may also receive payment for routing the options orders to designated broker/dealers or market centers for execution. Compensation may be in the form of a per contract cash payment. The source and amount of any compensation received in connection with options transactions and any additional information concerning the options order flow payments will be furnished upon written request.

Inc.'s Description of the System and the Suitability of the Design and Operating Effectiveness of its Controls Related to Its Custody Services (prepared pursuant to Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagement No. 18) by contacting Brian Roth at Brian.Roth@opco.com. Cash balances in advisory accounts custodied at Oppenheimer will be invested in certain participating banks in the ABD Program. Oppenheimer receives a fee from each deposit bank. The amount of the fee paid to Oppenheimer will affect the interest rate paid on Deposit Accounts. To the extent more of the fee paid is retained by Oppenheimer, the interest rate paid to clients on Deposit Accounts will be less. For more information about the ABD Program, see item 4, “Cash Sweeps.” Financial Information Not applicable. 27

(“Oppenheimer”) is a registered investment adviser and registered broker-dealer. Oppenheimer and its predecessor companies have been in business since 1881 and Oppenheimer has been a registered investment adviser since 1955. Oppenheimer is owned directly by Viner Finance Inc., an indirect subsidiary of Oppenheimer Holdings Inc., which is a publicly held company. Oppenheimer offers a variety of advisory services on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis and investment consulting services. This Brochure provides information about the following programs: Fahnestock Asset Management (“FAM”), Alpha, Consulting Services, Retirement Services, Preference and Financial Planning. Information about the following programs: OMEGA, OMEGA Retirement, FAM Retirement, FAM Fee Only, Alpha Retirement, Alpha Fee Only, Preference, Preference Retirement, Advantage Advisory, Advantage Advisory Retirement, PAS Directed, PAS Directed Retirement, UMA FA Directed, and UMA FA Directed Retirement is provided in Oppenheimer ADV Part 2A Appendix 1, a separate brochure. Oppenheimer accepts discretionary authority to manage securities accounts for clients. This authority is stated in the investment management agreement that Oppenheimer enters into with the client. Clients may specify certain types of securities that they do not want us to purchase for their account. The structure of our advisory programs entails certain conflicts of interest as discussed below in Item 5 under “Funds in Advisory Accounts,” “Cash Sweeps” and in Item 10 of this Brochure. Oppenheimer as Fiduciary to You As a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”), Oppenheimer has an obligation to act as a fiduciary in the way that we provide advisory services to you according to legal standards set forth under the Advisers Act, certain state laws and common law and, if applicable, the Employees Retirement Security Act as amended. What does it mean to act as a Fiduciary? - We need to act in your best interests. - We need to place your interests ahead of our own. - We must disclose material facts about our advisory programs. - We design our advisory programs to avoid conflicts of interest but if there is a potential for a conflict, we disclose the conflict to you. - Our recommendations to you are based on our investment due diligence process and our understanding of your investment goals and risk tolerance. - We will not engage in principal trading (trades between your accounts and our proprietary accounts) without your consent. - We will disclose the fees that you pay and compensation that we receive. - We must have a reasonable basis for believing our recommendations are suitable for you and are consistent with your objectives and goals. When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) or individual retirement account or other account subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), such clients (“Retirement Plan Clients”) and such client accounts (“Retirement Client Accounts”) we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we 4  operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under this special rule’s provisions, we must: Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best interest; - Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent advice); - Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal advice); - Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments; - - Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and - Give you basic information about conflicts of interest. Fahnestock Asset Management - FAM FAM is an advisory program in which Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer provide discretionary investment management services for equity, balanced and fixed income portfolios for an asset based fee and commissions on transactions. Fees for accounts in the FAM program are billed monthly in advance. You will receive a pro rata refund of fees if you terminate your account before the end of a month. Alpha Advisory Program - Alpha Alpha is an advisory program in which Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer provide discretionary investment management services for commissions on transactions. Consulting Services Oppenheimer provides non-discretionary investment consulting and execution services to institutional clients and unaffiliated advisors. These services include the following: Identification and monitoring of portfolio managers Performance reporting - Development or updating of an investment policy statement - Development of asset allocation strategy or model - - Oppenheimer’s consulting services do not include custodial services from Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer does not introduce portfolio managers affiliated with Oppenheimer to clients who enter into a consulting services agreement. Fees for consulting services are typically billed quarterly in arrears. Retirement Services Oppenheimer provides non-discretionary and discretionary services to fiduciaries of qualified retirement plans. These services include the following: Performance reporting - Review of plan documents - Development of an investment policy statement - Review of investments offered in the plan - Advice on investment fund selection - - Educational seminars for plan participants Oppenheimer’s Retirement Services do not include custodial services from Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer does not introduce portfolio managers affiliated with Oppenheimer to clients who enter into a retirement services agreement. Fees for Retirement Services accounts are received monthly, quarterly, or annually, depending upon the agreement between the client and Oppenheimer. 5  Financial Planning Services Oppenheimer offers financial planning services through certain Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer with the assistance of the Financial Planning Group of Oppenheimer Asset Management, Inc. (“OAM”). Oppenheimer provides clients with various types of written financial plans. A financial plan analyzes an individual’s current financial situation and identifies an individual’s ability to achieve their long-term economic goals. A financial plan is developed and based upon information furnished to Oppenheimer by the client regarding the client’s financial and tax situation. Planning areas addressed in a financial plan will vary by client. Guidance provided in a financial plan will be specific to each client. Financial plans do not recommend specific securities for investment. Advisory financial planning services include: • Personal Financial Analysis (“PFA”) The PFA is a goals-based financial plan that can analyze multiple lifetime goals and scenarios for a client. The PFA will analyze an individual’s current financial situation (current asset and savings, insurance, income/expenses and liabilities). Depending upon the client’s situation, the financial plan may include an analysis of where the client is in relationship to his or her financial goals such as retirement planning, education planning, risk management (life, disability and long-term care insurance), asset allocation analysis, corporate executive compensation planning and estate planning strategies. • The Asset Allocation Plan The Asset Allocation Plan is designed to furnish a guideline for making investment decisions. Using our proprietary Risk Assessment questionnaire, changes to an existing portfolio may be suggested. The plan will compare an existing investment portfolio’s asset allocation to that of a proposed asset allocation including a comparison of the characteristics of the current portfolio and the proposed portfolio. The hypothetical investment results of the different portfolios will be shown over various time periods to provide an analytical framework for making decisions. Assets under Management With respect to the advisory services described in this Brochure, as of December 31, 2025 Oppenheimer managed client assets of $36,710,705,748, of this amount Oppenheimer managed $14,233,267,307 of client assets on a discretionary basis and approximately $22,477,438,441 of client assets on a non-discretionary basis (including certain assets for which consulting and retirement services are provided). ITEM 5. FEES AND COMPENSATION Oppenheimer periodically reviews the fees charged to its advisory clients, and makes adjustments to ensure fees are in accordance with the fee schedules described in this Brochure. The adjusted fees may be rounded up or down to the nearest basis point. Advisory fees may be calculated based upon a different data feed than that used to generate account statements. The data feed may differ in its treatment of factors such as accrued interest and trades pending settlement. The fees we charge are negotiable and may differ from client to client based on a number of factors including the type and size of the Account and the range of client related services to be provided to the Account and may differ for a client depending on the advisory programs selected. 6  The maximum fee and minimum account size for each program are set forth in the table below: Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. Advisory Program Account Minimums and Maximum Fees Program Name Minimum Account Size Maximum Fees Fahnestock Asset Management (FAM) MF/ETFs only- $10,000 Multi-security- $50,000 Include Bonds- $100,000 2.5% *We charge commissions on certain FAM accounts at the time that securities transactions are executed Alpha MF/ETFs only- $10,000 Multi-security- $50,000 Include Bonds- $100,000 Clients pay brokerage commissions and ticket and/or handling charges on securities transactions executed by Oppenheimer Preference MF/ETFs only- $10,000 Multi-security- $25,000 Include Bonds- $100,000 2.25% *additional charges may apply based on high volume trading activity Preference Retirement 2.25% *no additional charges are applied MF/ETFs only- $10,000 Multi-security- $25,000 Include Bonds- $100,000 Varies 1.00% Consulting Services Varies 1.00% Retirement Services Preference Separate Account Fees Oppenheimer offers non-discretionary advisory services through its Preference Advisory program. For the Preference Advisory program, the fee will be adjusted in the next billing period for each addition to or withdrawal from your Account of $10,000 or more, netted on a daily basis. The minimum annual fee for a Preference account is $250. The minimum fee will not apply if the account is at least $50,000 or advisory accounts in a client’s household are at least $250,000. The program is not intended for high volume trading and accounts that trade in high volume may be terminated from the program or, for Non-Retirement assets, be subject to additional charges for trading activity above a threshold amount as described below. The threshold will be determined by the number of transactions multiplied by the charge per transaction ($50 per transaction for equity, bond, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) and closed end funds and $35 for option trades) divided by the asset based fee for the previous twelve months. If the ratio is one or less, your account will not be charged any additional fees. If the threshold ratio is above 1, each additional transaction will result in the following additional fees: $75 for bond transactions - The greater of $.10 per share or $75 for equity, ETFs or closed-end fund transactions - - The greater of $3.25 per contract or $35 for options transactions 7  - Mutual Fund transactions will not be counted in determining the threshold ratio. These additional fees will be accrued and charged to your account with your next monthly advisory fee. Oppenheimer has discretion to waive or reduce these additional fees. Additional fees will be counted in the denominator for purposes of determining the threshold ratio. As stated above, the Preference program is not meant for high frequency trading and, if Oppenheimer deems an account is a high frequency account, it may be removed from the program. The fees charged for Preference accounts may cost a client more than it would cost to purchase these services separately. In addition to the wrap fee, clients may pay dealer markups or markdowns in principal transactions with broker dealers other than Oppenheimer, or commissions charged by broker dealers other than Oppenheimer, ADR agency processing fees, odd lot differentials, Exchange or SEC fees, transfer taxes and any other charges imposed by law. The Preference Advisory program allows for the holdings to be used as collateral for the purpose of borrowing funds. If a client wishes to do this, the Preference account will be linked to the client’s non-managed brokerage account. The brokerage account will hold the margin loan balance and be charged monthly margin loan interest rate. A client may elect to carry the margin loan balance directly in the Preference account. In that case, the fee will be calculated on the total Eligible Asset value without deduction for any margin loans outstanding. If you engage in short selling in your Preference Advisory account your fee will be calculated on the proceeds from short sales. The current short position market value will not be used to calculate the value of Eligible Assets as defined in the advisory agreement. Effective on or about May 2026, Oppenheimer will change the methodology of calculating fees in Preference accounts that hold a margin loan balance or have a short position. If a client has a margin loan balance in its Preference account, the fee will be calculated based on the total value of Eligible Assets after deduction of any margin loans outstanding. If client engages in short selling in its Preference Advisory account, the fee will be calculated on the proceeds from short sales. The current short position market value and margin debit balances will be used to calculate the value of Eligible Assets. Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer receive a portion of the fee paid by their clients in the Preference program. The amount of this compensation may be more than what the Financial Advisor would receive if the client participated in other programs or paid separately for investment advice, brokerage and other services. A Financial Advisor therefore may have a financial incentive to recommend the Preference program over other programs or services. FAM FAM accounts for existing relationships are charged fees based on a percentage of the value of assets in the portfolio and commissions for the execution of portfolio transactions. When Oppenheimer is compensated for the advisory and other services provided for certain FAM accounts by the payment of brokerage commissions and ticket and/or handling charges, the standard commission table is provided by the Financial Advisor at the inception of an account. Commission rates may be discounted from the standard rates solely at the discretion of Oppenheimer and discounts may be revoked or reapplied at any time by Oppenheimer. For non-retirement accounts, commission rates may be discounted. If commission rates are discounted for an account then the fees may be increased by 0.25% to 0.50% depending on the size of the account. Commission rates may be discounted from the standard rates solely at the discretion of Oppenheimer and discounts may be revoked or reapplied at any time by Oppenheimer. 8  Fees for FAM accounts are paid monthly in advance. The minimum annual fee for a FAM account is $250. The minimum fee will not apply if the account is at least $50,000 or advisory accounts in a client’s household are at least $250,000. The fee for a FAM account will be adjusted in the next billing period for each addition to or withdrawal from the account of $10,000 or more, netted on a daily basis. Alpha Separate Account Charges Oppenheimer is compensated for the advisory and other services provided for Alpha accounts by the payment of brokerage commissions and ticket and/or handling charges on securities transactions executed by Oppenheimer. The standard commission table is provided by the Financial Advisor at the inception of an account. Commission rates may be discounted from the standard rates solely at the discretion of Oppenheimer and discounts may be revoked or reapplied at any time by Oppenheimer. Consulting Services and Retirement Services Fees Fees for Consulting Services and Retirement Services vary based on the size and nature of the account and the type and extent of services provided. Fees may be charged as a percentage of assets in the account and may range up to 1.00% of assets per year. Clients may elect to pay a hard dollar amount per year generally starting at $10,000. Fees may be payable in advance or in arrears and may be payable on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. Fees charged in advance will be refunded on a pro rata basis if the agreement is cancelled during the billing period. Financial Planning Fees Oppenheimer provides financial planning services. The fees for these services vary based on the complexity of the plan. A goals-based plan can cost up to $10,000. Updates to a plan can be provided at negotiated rates. The fee is negotiable based on the overall client relationship and the discretion of the client’s Financial Advisor. For any financial plan where a fee is assessed, the Financial Advisor is first required to submit a request for fee approval. Correspondence is sent to the Oppenheimer Financial Planning Group. Within the correspondence the Financial Advisor is required to provide a summary of the client’s financial situation along with the proposed fee. The Financial Planning Group reviews the request and either approves or denies the proposal. Payment of Fees and Other Expenses Clients can choose to pay Oppenheimer’s fees out of their assets or to have Oppenheimer send them a bill for services. FAM accounts are generally billed or have fees deducted once every month in advance. We charge commissions on certain FAM and existing Alpha accounts at the time that securities transactions are executed. For FAM accounts that charge commissions, more than 50% of the revenue may result from commissions. Additional Fees The fees for accounts do not include the fees and charges of any custodian selected by the client, other than Oppenheimer, or certain charges associated with securities transactions that may be imposed by regulatory authorities, ADR, agency processing fees, margin interest, odd-lot differentials, SEC and Exchange fees and transfer taxes and any other charges imposed by law, or any fees and expenses charged by the funds held in your accounts (see “Funds in Advisory Accounts”) below. Assets held in the accounts in cash will be invested at certain participating banks in the ADV Program (see “Cash Sweeps”) below 9  Funds in Advisory Programs Advisory accounts may include closed-end and open end mutual funds and exchange traded funds. Assets held in these funds are subject to various fees and expenses paid including share class related fees to the fund and ultimately borne by the investor. These fees will be in addition to and not offset against the fees (and commissions) charged for the account. Investors should review and consider these additional fees carefully. Oppenheimer receives marketing, distribution and/or service fees (referred to as “12b-1 fees”) as a result of investments in certain mutual funds. Mutual funds generally offer multiple share classes, some of which do not result in 12b-1 fees. Any 12b-1 fees paid to Oppenheimer attributable to fund shares held in your advisory account (except for certain consulting arrangements) will be credited back to clients by the firm on a monthly basis for those days that the account is managed. The payment of 12b-1 fees presents a conflict of interest for Oppenheimer and provides an incentive to recommend investments based on the compensation received from the receipt of 12b-1 fees, rather than on a client’s needs or the existence of a less expensive share class even when a client is eligible for a lower-cost share class of the same fund. The firm mitigates this conflict by crediting back 12b-1 fees to the client. For certain consulting services, Oppenheimer’s fee is offset by the receipt of 12b-1 fees. Certain funds pay Oppenheimer a system support or networking fee per client account. Oppenheimer retains those fees. Oppenheimer advisory programs make available mutual funds which offer various classes of shares, including shares generally designated as Class A shares or other classes that pay 12b-1 fees, and certain share classes that do not pay 12b-1 fees. In other instances, a mutual fund may offer only classes that pay 12b-1 fees, but another similar mutual fund may be available that offers share classes that do not pay 12b-1 fees. It is generally more expensive for a client to own shares that pay a 12b-1 fee. By offering 12b-1 share classes as well as non-12b-1 share classes, a conflict of interest exists for Oppenheimer and Financial Advisors because there is a financial incentive for the Financial Advisor to recommend a more expensive 12b-1 fee paying share class even when a client is eligible for a lower-cost share in the same or a comparable mutual fund. The firm mitigates this conflict by crediting back to the client 12b-1 fees received. UITs in Advisory Programs Accounts in certain programs described in this brochure may include Unit Investment Trusts (“UITs”). Investing in UITs is typically more expensive than other investment options offered in your advisory account. In addition to your advisory fee, you will pay the UIT’s fees and expenses, which are charged directly to the pool of assets in the UIT and are refected in the unit price. UITs may be purchased in fee based advisory accounts if purchased on an agency basis at a 50 basis point charge, none of which is paid to Oppenheimer, but is charged by the UIT sponsor. A UIT’s fees and expenses are stated in its prospectus. For additional information, speak to your Oppenheimer Financial Advisor. Cash Sweeps Cash balances in accounts held at Oppenheimer in all programs sponsored by Oppenheimer are invested automatically in certain participating banks in the Advantage Bank Deposit (“ABD”) Program. Oppenheimer receives a fee from each deposit bank. The amount of the fee paid to Oppenheimer will affect the interest rate paid on Deposit Accounts. To the extent more of the fee paid is retained by Oppenheimer the interest rate paid to clients on Deposit Accounts will be less. The ABD Program is significantly more profitable to Oppenheimer than money market fund sweep vehicles. The fee payable to Oppenheimer may be as high as 5% of the household balances invested in the ABD Program. Oppenheimer retains fees earned on cash deposits for accounts in the ABD Program. Oppenheimer also charges an advisory fee on those cash balances. Oppenheimer earns both advisory revenue on cash balances invested in the ABD Program as well as administrative fees paid by bank participants for administration. Clients in non- discretionary advisory programs should compare their non-discretionary advisory programs to a brokerage account 10  that does not charge a fee to the Client on cash balances or to a money market mutual fund. Oppenheimer does receive administrative fees in the ABD Program in brokerage accounts. For programs in which Oppenheimer has investment discretion, Oppenheimer determines the level of cash in the account. This creates a conflict of interest for Oppenheimer which is paid both the advisory fee and the bank administration fee. Oppenheimer believes this conflict is mitigated due to the fact that Oppenheimer Financial Advisors that exercise discretion over an account do not receive a portion of the bank administrative fee. Money market mutual funds are available as alternative solutions to the ABD Program. However the client or the client’s Financial Advisor must request access to these funds for advisory accounts as all advisory cash accounts are currently invested automatically in the ABD Program. Money market mutual funds also have different risk and return profiles than the ABD Program, including that most money market funds do not qualify for FDIC insurance. Clients should consult with their Financial Advisor to compare money market mutual funds with the ABD Program. Oppenheimer’s advisory fee is charged on all assets in an advisory account including, if the account is custodied at Oppenheimer, cash for which Oppenheimer also receives the ABD Program fee. Oppenheimer retains a fee earned on cash deposits in the ABD Program. This practice presents a conflict of interest and gives an a Financial Advisor an incentive to recommend holding cash based on the compensation received, rather than on a client’s needs. Compensation to Financial Advisors; Discounting Oppenheimer Financial Advisors receive a portion of the fees paid by clients to Oppenheimer for FAM accounts or Consulting and Retirement Services. Oppenheimer Financial Advisors also receive a portion of the commissions paid by clients to Oppenheimer in FAM and Alpha accounts. Financial Advisors who provide investment advisory services under a commission or fee plus commission based advisory program face a conflict of interest because the Financial Advisor receives a portion of the commissions charged and may have an incentive to trade the account more frequently. The Financial Advisor’s Branch Manager reviews the level of trading in a commission based account. Financial Advisors can charge clients up to the maximum fee for each program. Financial Advisors receive less than their standard payout when accounts are priced below certain levels unless Oppenheimer waives the haircut. This creates an incentive for Financial Advisors to price accounts at or above certain levels. Selection of Advisory Programs When choosing an advisory program, clients should ask about other programs offered by Oppenheimer. As there are differences in compensation structure among programs, there also are differences in the strategies and services provided. For example, the OMEGA program has specific investment guidelines. Financial Advisors may recommend the Alpha program to investors who want their account to be more concentrated or to engage in short selling strategies, which are not permitted in OMEGA accounts. OMEGA, FAM, PAS Directed, UMA Directed and Alpha are programs in which the Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer provide discretionary (and non-discretionary, in the case of Preference) management services. Information about the OMEGA Services program, the Preference Advisory Program, PAS Directed and UMA Directed is also provided in a separate Brochure. OAM, an affiliate of Oppenheimer, offers programs that provide management services from a variety of affiliated and unaffiliated portfolio managers and managers of mutual funds. Branch Managers review and approve each advisory account for suitability before it is opened and review trading activity in advisory accounts that are managed on a discretionary basis by Financial Advisors including trading volume in the Financial Advisor directed accounts. The program administration group reviews certain aspects of portfolio management and trading for all of these programs. Oppenheimer’s brokerage practices are further described in Item 12, “Brokerage Practices”. 11  ITEM 6. PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE BY SIDE MANAGEMENT There are no performance based fee arrangements in the Financial Advisor directed programs. ITEM 7. TYPES OF CLIENTS Oppenheimer provides advice to individuals, high net worth individuals, corporations, trusts, pension and profit sharing plans, charitable organizations, pooled investment vehicles, business entities and individual retirement accounts. Minimum account sizes are set forth in the table in item 5. ITEM 8. METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT, STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS Consulting Services and Retirement Services The Consulting Services program provides non-discretionary and the Retirement Services advisory program may provide non-discretionary and discretionary investment consulting services for client assets that are not custodied at Oppenheimer. Services are provided by Oppenheimer Financial Advisors under the supervision of the product supervisor. Oppenheimer Financial Advisors must submit an application to become eligible to provide Consulting Services or discretionary Retirement Services to clients. The application must be approved by the Oppenheimer Financial Advisor’s Branch Manager and the product supervisor of Consulting Services or Retirement Services. Approval is based on a review of the Financial Advisor’s investment consulting experience. Continuing education regarding investment consulting is generally required on an ongoing basis for each Financial Advisor. Before enrolling in the Consulting Services program, clients must complete a questionnaire. The questionnaire for individuals gathers personal and financial information including investment experience, current asset allocation, risk tolerance and goals. The questionnaire for institutional and trust clients gathers information regarding tax status, purpose, goals, risk tolerance, investment policy, current asset allocation, and cash flow. The questionnaires also gather information about the custodian(s) for the client’s assets, and the disposition of those assets. Financial Advisors make investment recommendations based on the needs of each client. Financial Advisors review existing investment policies, and if appropriate, develop the policies with the client to set guidelines for asset allocation and investment manager performance selection and retention criteria. Investment strategies for clients may vary by Financial Advisor and include strategic asset allocation and tactical asset allocation. Equity, balanced and fixed income investments may be recommended along with value, growth and momentum investing strategies. In building a specific asset allocation strategy, Oppenheimer Financial Advisors utilize various analytics and capital projections combined with an assessment of clients’ investment goals and objectives. Financial Advisors review the circumstances that apply to each client including but not limited to risk tolerance level, time horizon, expected withdrawals, expected contributions, and long-term goals. Financial Advisors review the pertinent aspects of a client’s situation and review asset allocation recommendations at least once a year. A client’s asset allocation is rebalanced or adjusted in accordance with each client’s investment policy when needed. In addition to asset allocation and investment policy, Financial Advisors also make recommendations concerning the selection and retention of investment managers. Generally, managers will represent separate, distinct, and non- correlated investments typically covering a variety of different risk and return parameters. In general, a variety of factors are reviewed when considering a manager; including style, credit quality, duration, risk, correlation, manager added value, manager objectives and expenses and performance. All investments entail certain risks, both systemic and non-systemic. Investments and asset allocation recommendations made by Financial Advisors may include financial, market, inflation, interest rate, credit, and loss of principal risks. Financial Advisors generally attempt to moderate and manage these risks through diversification. 12  Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Methodologies and Strategies The investment strategies used in managing accounts vary depending on the Financial Advisor and may include strategic asset allocation and tactical asset allocation, value, growth and momentum investing for equity, balanced and fixed income accounts. Mutual fund, closed end funds and ETFs (referred to herein as “funds”) may be selected by your Financial Advisor from a group of eligible funds. Some funds are on Oppenheimer Asset Management Inc’s Focus List. Funds on the Focus List are subject to a higher level of initial and ongoing review than are eligible funds. Monitoring and Review Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation Funds Eligibility Operational standards, minimum asset levels, accessible in third party databases, length of performance history Operational standards, minimum asset levels, accessible in third party databases, length of performance history Funds Focus List Analysis of market performance and impact on portfolios, ongoing Qualitative and Quantitative review of performance, Qualitative review of standards used including firm history, asset breakdown, investment team, investment philosophy, investment process, and regulatory updates. Quantitative and Qualitative standards used including a review of firm history, asset breakdown, investment team, investment philosophy, investment process, trading infrastructure, compliance infrastructure, historical portfolio holdings, client service capability, risk evaluation, and historical performance. Risks Volatility of Investment Results. As with any investment in securities, the value of an investment in any of the strategies employed by a Financial Advisor accounts and the total return on an investor’s investment are subject to the possibility that the portfolio of investments will experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect the securities markets generally, such as adverse changes in economic conditions, the general outlook for corporate earnings, interest rates or investor sentiment. Investments also may lose value because of factors affecting an entire industry or sector, such as increases in production costs, or factors directly related to a specific company, such as decisions made by its management. Concentration of Portfolio. The various strategies executed by a Financial Advisor may result in the concentration in a limited number of securities, or one security may constitute a significant percentage of a particular portfolio. A decline in the value of a security or securities in which an account holds a concentrated interest could substantially affect the value of the account overall. Strategy May Not Be Successful. No guarantee or representation can be made that the investment strategy utilized on behalf of any client will be successful, that there will be profits, or that losses will be avoided. The success of an investment program may be affected by general economic and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws and national and international political circumstances. These factors may affect the level and volatility of securities prices and the liquidity of a portfolio’s investments. Unexpected volatility or illiquidity could result in losses. 13  ITEM 9. DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION (1) On May 4, 2016, the Securities Division of the Office of the Attorney General for South Carolina determined that Oppenheimer, without admitting or denying the findings, failed to detect and report the activities of a former registered representative and an unidentified representative relating to the representative’s recommendation that a client invest in private investments from November 2005 through October 2008. Oppenheimer was fined $150,000 and reimbursed costs of $25,000. (2) On June 7, 2016, Oppenheimer signed an AWC with FINRA in which FINRA alleged the firm sold leveraged, inverse and inverse-leveraged exchange-traded funds (non-traditional ETFs) to retail customers without reasonable supervision, and recommended non-traditional ETFs that were not suitable. FINRA found the firm did not establish an adequate supervisory system to monitor the holding periods for non-traditional ETFs. The firm failed to employ any surveillance or exception reports to effectively monitor the holding periods for non-traditional ETFs, so certain retail customers held non-traditional ETFs in their accounts for weeks, months and sometimes years, resulting in substantial losses. FINRA also found that Oppenheimer failed to conduct adequate due diligence regarding the risks and features of non-traditional ETFs and, as a result, did not have a reasonable basis to recommend these ETFs to retail customers. Similarly, Oppenheimer representatives solicited and effected non-traditional ETF purchases that were unsuitable for specific customers. Oppenheimer neither admitted nor denied the charges, but consented to the entry of FINRA’s findings and was fined $2.25 million and ordered the firm to pay restitution of more than $716,000 to affected customers. (3) On July 19, 2016, the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, Corporations, Securities & Commercial Licensing Bureau entered into a Consent Agreement & Order In Lieu of Cease & Desist Proceedings with the firm to settle allegations of violations of the Michigan Uniform Securities Act (2002), 2008 PA 551, as amended. The violations related to the firm’s failure to register investment adviser representatives in Michigan. The agreement and order included a civil fine of $900,000. (4) On November 17, 2016, the firm was fined $1.575 million and ordered to pay $1.85 million to customers for failing to report required information to FINRA, failing to produce documents in discovery to customers who filed arbitrations, and for not applying applicable sales charge waivers to customers. The firm neither admitted nor denied the charges, but consented to the entry of FINRA's findings. FINRA found that over a span of several years, the firm failed to timely report to FINRA more than 350 required filings including securities-related regulatory findings, disciplinary actions taken by the firm against its employees, and settlements of securities-related arbitration and litigation claims. FINRA rules require firms to timely and accurately report required information, yet Oppenheimer’s procedures did not provide direction to its employees on making these disclosures. On average, Oppenheimer made these filings more than four years late. The firm also failed to timely disclose that its then Anti- Money-Laundering Compliance Officer and another employee had received Wells notices from the SEC. The firm had revised its supervisory procedures as a result of a prior FINRA investigation but failed to adopt adequate procedures that addressed a specific obligation to report regulatory events involving its employees. (5) On November 29, 2016, the firm signed an AWC with FINRA in which the firm was censured and fined $20,000. Without admitting or denying the findings, the firm consented to sanctions and the entry of findings that it failed on 43 occasions to provide written notification disclosing to its customer the call date and dollar price of the call in 43 transactions in municipal securities executed on the basis of a yield to call. The findings stated that the firm failed on three occasions to provide written notification disclosing to its customers the correct lowest effective yield in three transactions in municipal securities and provided on one occasion written notification improperly disclosing to its customer a yield to call in one transition in a municipal security with a variable interest rate. (6) On June 1, 2017, the firm signed an AWC with FINRA in which the firm was censured and fined $20,000. Without admitting or denying the findings, the firm consented to sanctions and the entry of findings that it purchased municipal securities for its own account from a customer and/or sold municipal securities for its own account to a 14  customer at aggregate price that was not fair and reasonable, in six transactions. The firm was also ordered to pay restitution to clients in the amount of $10,301.44 plus interest. (7) On March 11, 2019, Oppenheimer and its affiliate Oppenheimer Asset Management Inc. (“OAM”) became subject to an order (the “Order”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Order arose out of recommendations or purchases made by Oppenheimer or OAM for advisory clients during the period from January 1, 2014 through August 15, 2018 ( the “Relevant Period”) of mutual fund share classes that charged 12b-1 fees instead of lower cost share classes of the same funds for which clients were eligible. During the Relevant Period, Oppenheimer and its Financial Advisors received 12b-1 fees for advising clients to invest in or hold such mutual fund share classes. Oppenheimer and OAM self-reported to the SEC the violations discussed in the Order pursuant to the SEC’s Division of Enforcement’s Share Class Selection Disclosure Initiative. Pursuant to the Order, Oppenheimer and OAM were censured and agreed to (i) pay $3,528,377 consisting of disgorgement of $3,169,123 and prejudgment interest of $359,254, (ii) cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and future violations of Sections 206(2) and 207 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”) and (iii) distribute the amount of $3,528,377 to affected investors during the Relevant Period. Oppenheimer and OAM also undertook to (i) review and correct as necessary all relevant disclosure documents concerning mutual fund share class selection and 12b-1 fees, (ii) evaluate whether existing clients should be moved to a lower cost share class and move clients as necessary, (iii) evaluate, update if necessary and review the effectiveness of implementation of policies and procedures so that they are reasonably designed to prevent future violations of the Advisers Act in connection with disclosures regarding mutual fund share class selection. ITEM 10. OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS Broker –Dealer Registration Status Oppenheimer is a registered broker-dealer. Albert Lowenthal, Executive Chairman, Robert Lowenthal, Chief Executive Officer, Edward Harrington, Executive Vice President, Private Client Services and Leon E. Molokie Jr., EVP, Chief Operations Officer, are registered representatives of Oppenheimer but generally may not function in that capacity. Material Relationship or Arrangement with Industry Participants An affiliate of Oppenheimer is the managing member of several subsidiaries that act as investment advisers to registered investment companies and other pooled investment vehicles. These investment companies and pooled investment vehicles pay performance fees as well as management fees. Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer receive a portion of the management fee and incentive fee paid by collective investment vehicles to affiliates of Oppenheimer as well as placement fees and may have a financial incentive to recommend those collective investment vehicles. Oppenheimer also is a registered broker dealer and full service investment firm as well as a registered investment adviser. Oppenheimer provides services such as investment banking, equity research, institutional sales, municipal finance and debt capital markets. Oppenheimer Trust Company of Delaware, an affiliate of Oppenheimer, provides trust services to high net worth individuals, not for profit organizations and businesses. Oppenheimer Trust Company of Delaware may recommend Oppenheimer advisory programs or products to its trust clients. Mutual funds that may be purchased in advisory accounts do not pay any fees to Oppenheimer for participating in these programs. Advisers or distributors of mutual funds available in Oppenheimer advisory programs may pay for or reimburse for various costs relating to client and prospective client meeting sales and marketing materials and educational training and sales meetings held with Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer. These affiliates of mutual funds also may pay for the cost of reasonable entertainment in connection with Oppenheimer sponsored or client related events. Oppenheimer acts as the placement agent for the sale of interests in collective investment vehicles for which subsidiaries of OAM serve as investment advisor or general partner. 15  Mutual funds that are purchased in Oppenheimer advisory programs may have other business relationships with Oppenheimer such as institutional trading. Oppenheimer Financial Advisors may not consider any such relationships when determining whether or not to recommend a mutual fund for one of the advisory programs. Mutual funds available in advisory programs also may be purchased by clients in their brokerage accounts but are sold with the applicable sales charge. Certain fund companies pay Oppenheimer a system support or networking fee per client account. Unit investment trusts (“UITs”) may be purchased in fee based advisory accounts if purchased on an agency basis at a 50 basis point charge, none of which is paid to Oppenheimer. Purchases of UITs in fee based advisory programs are not taken into account for the payment of any volume bonuses by sponsors of UITs to Oppenheimer. Sponsors of UITs may have trading relationships with Oppenheimer. The existence of any such relationships is not a factor in the determination by a Financial Advisor to recommend the purchase of a UIT for an advisory program. Managers that Oppenheimer recommends to clients in the Consulting Services or Retirement Services programs may have other business relationships with Oppenheimer such as institutional trading. Oppenheimer does not consider these relationships when determining whether or not to recommend a portfolio manager or mutual fund. Service providers to retirement plans and sponsors of insurance products sponsor events to which Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer are invited such as meals or golf outings. Financial Advisors must receive the approval of the Product Manager before attending any of these events. Cash balances in accounts at Oppenheimer in all programs sponsored by Oppenheimer are invested automatically in certain participating banks in the ABD Program. Oppenheimer receives a fee from each deposit bank. The amount of the fee paid to Oppenheimer will affect the interest rate paid on Deposit Accounts. To the extent more of the fee paid is retained by Oppenheimer the interest rate paid to clients on Deposit Accounts will be less. For more information about the ABD Program see Item 5, “Cash Sweeps.” Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer receive compensation for the sale of interests in hedge funds recommended by its affiliate OAM out of payments made by the funds to Oppenheimer. Certain hedge funds make higher payments to Oppenheimer than other funds on the OAM hedge fund platform and accordingly, Financial Advisors who sell these funds receive higher payments than they receive from selling other hedge funds. This practice represents a conflict of interest and gives Oppenheimer and the Financial Advisor an incentive to recommend investment products based on the compensation received, rather than on a client’s needs. Research Oppenheimer has procedures in place to avoid improper communications between Oppenheimer research employees and employees of other Oppenheimer departments including Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer Research employees are generally prohibited from, among other things: - Discussing with any person outside of the Research Department and the Legal and Compliance Department any unpublished research reports, opinions or recommendations; - Recommending the purchase or sale of, a security ahead of the issuance of research or changes to a view on a security; - Recommending the purchase or sale of, a security of an issuer for any account while in possession of - - material non-public information on the issuer; Providing unpublished drafts of research reports for review or approval to any non-Research personnel; Providing unpublished drafts of research reports for review or approval to third parties, except pursuant to authorized gate-keeping procedures; - Making any oral, written, or electronic communication, either internally or externally, that is inconsistent with an analyst’s research, opinions or analysis; and - Disclosing material changes to opinions, recommendations or price target to select persons prior to general publication. 16  Investment Banking In order to prevent the improper use of material, non-public information from one part of Oppenheimer to another, Oppenheimer has created “information barriers” or “information walls” around each department that holds this information. Each business unit that regularly holds customer confidential information (such as investment banking) is on the “Private Side” of the information wall. In contrast, each business unit that does not hold confidential information is on the “Public Side” of the wall. Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer are considered to be on the “Public Side” of the wall. Employees on the Private Side of each information wall are prohibited from providing any material, non-public information to employees on the Public Side of the information wall. Regulatory requirements prohibit Private Side investment banking personnel who are in possession of material, non- public information from discussing a pending transaction with individuals on the Public Side (or employees on the Private Side who do not have a “need to know”). Only those employees directly involved in or necessary to the due diligence process of an investment banking transaction are permitted to be brought “over the wall.” Material Conflicts of Interest Relating to other Investment Advisers Oppenheimer receives compensation from other investment advisers for recommending those advisers to clients. These arrangements are in place for advisers that are not available in programs offered by Oppenheimer or its affiliates. Oppenheimer also acts as a selling broker-dealer for interests in collective investment vehicles managed by other investment advisers. Financial Advisors who recommend other advisers or interests in collective investment vehicles receive a portion of the compensation paid to Oppenheimer under these arrangements. These arrangements give Financial Advisors an incentive to recommend investments based on the compensation received, rather than on a client’s needs. Oppenheimer will execute trades on behalf of clients and will receive financial and other benefits as a result. ITEM 11. CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS AND PERSONAL TRADING Code of Ethics Oppenheimer has adopted a written Code of Ethics pursuant to Rule 204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. A copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided upon request to any client or prospective client. The purpose of the Code of Ethics is to set forth standards of conduct expected of advisory personnel and address conflicts, such as front running, that arise from personal trading by advisory personnel. The Code of Ethics addresses these conflicts as follows: 1. clients are 2. 3. 4. Certain advisory personnel with access to the securities trading on behalf of advisory deemed as “access persons”; These access persons of Oppenheimer are required to certify that they are in compliance with the Code of Ethics on an annual basis; Access persons are also required to provide compliance personnel with brokerage accounts through which they conduct personal trading; and Access persons are required to execute securities transactions on behalf of advisory accounts prior to or at a better price than any securities transactions in the same issuer for personal accounts. Note, however, that personal accounts established as advisory accounts are treated the same as other advisory accounts. Oppenheimer and certain of its affiliates are engaged or may engage in investment activities for separate accounts for individuals and institutions or for their own accounts. These various accounts may from time to time purchase, sell or hold certain investments which are also being purchased, sold or held by other client accounts of Oppenheimer. For client accounts of Oppenheimer pursuing the same investment strategy, Oppenheimer will 17  allocate investments among these accounts on an equitable basis, taking into account such factors as the relative amounts of capital available for new investments. Oppenheimer and its officers and employees devote as much of their time to the activities of its clients as Oppenheimer deems necessary and appropriate. A copy of this Code of Ethics may be obtained by contacting Brian Roth at Brian.Roth@opco.com. Oppenheimer effects transactions on an agency basis on behalf of its clients and as principal for its own account in those securities in which it makes a market. Oppenheimer may, on occasion, act as broker for an advisory client of Oppenheimer on one side and a client for whom it (or its affiliates) does not act as investment adviser on the other side of a securities transaction. All clients are advised through clauses in the advisory contract that Oppenheimer is a broker-dealer and may have a position or interest in securities which are recommended or purchased for their accounts. In their capacity as registered representatives of Oppenheimer, Financial Advisors may indirectly receive a portion of client commissions paid to Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer acts as the placement agent for the sale of interests in collective investment vehicles for which affiliates of Oppenheimer serve as investment adviser or general partner. Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer receive a portion of the fees paid to the investment adviser or general partner with respect to client accounts in such funds. ITEM 12. BROKERAGE PRACTICES Oppenheimer executes securities transactions for advisory program accounts except when the transaction cannot be executed by Oppenheimer for regulatory or other reasons. Oppenheimer aggregates the purchase or sale of securities for client accounts whenever possible. Aggregation of transactions may result in lower transaction costs for clients and average pricing across an aggregated block. Oppenheimer as a broker-dealer receives remuneration, compensation or other consideration for directing customer orders for securities to particular market centers for execution. Such consideration, if any, may take the form of credits against fees due market centers, monetary payments, research, reciprocal agreements for the provision of order flow, products or services or other items of remuneration. Oppenheimer as a broker-dealer may also receive payment for routing options orders to designated broker/dealers or market centers for execution. Compensation may be in the form of a per contract cash payment. The source and amount of any compensation received in connection with options transactions and any additional information concerning the options order flow payments will be furnished upon written request. ITEM 13. REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS Activity in Financial Advisor advisory program accounts is reviewed by the Financial Advisor’s Branch Manager pursuant to specific written supervisory procedures that include unusual, suspicious or otherwise inappropriate activity utilizing various reports. Compliance and Branch Managers review for potential conflicts between Financial Advisors and clients with respect to trading activity and outside business activities. Branch Managers review each account for suitability before it is opened and review trading activity in managed accounts that are managed on a discretionary basis including trading volume in Alpha accounts. In addition to supervision by the Branch Manager, the Product Management group supervises certain aspects of management and trading for Financial Advisor advisory program accounts. Certain advisory program accounts may be reviewed more frequently if there is an unusual level of trading or pattern of trading. 18  Your Financial Adviser monitors your account on an annual basis. Consulting Services and Retirement Services Files containing client questionnaires, agreements, investment policy statements, and performance reports are maintained with the Financial Advisor, branch management, and the product department. The Financial Advisor’s Branch Manager is responsible for monitoring the Financial Advisor to determine that advice provided by the Financial Advisor is consistent and in compliance with the Consulting Service Agreement. These policies and procedures are designed to provide specific reviews to be conducted by the Branch Manager on a periodic basis. On a semi-annual basis, the Branch Manager conducts a series of reviews to verify compliance with the Consulting Services Agreement. In addition, the product supervisor or an appropriate designee will review each client file at inception and annually. The services stipulated in each client agreement will be reviewed with the Financial Advisor. Plan investments, asset allocation and recommendations will also be reviewed. Evidence of each annual review is maintained in each client’s product department file. Performance reporting is provided on an annual, semi-annual, or quarterly basis depending on the Consulting and Retirement Services client request. Performance reports can provide a variety of data and analysis concerning client investments and asset allocation such as: style measurements, comparative returns, expenses and account management. Alpha and FAM accounts Non-fee based Alpha and FAM clients may receive brokerage confirmations for all transactions as well as monthly brokerage statements. ITEM 14. CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION Oppenheimer does not receive direct economic benefits from third parties for providing investment advice or other advisory services to clients. Oppenheimer pays cash compensation for client referrals in accordance with Rule 206(4)-1 under the Advisers Act to registered investment advisors and may receive such compensation for soliciting clients for other managers. Compensation paid is a percentage of the assets under management or fee payable by the referred clients and may continue for the length of the client’s advisory relationship with Oppenheimer. The client does not incur any additional fees as a result of such client referral arrangements. Oppenheimer also compensates unaffiliated third parties such as other broker-dealers, accountants and consultants for client referrals in accordance with Rule 206(4)-1. Compensation paid is a percentage of the account assets under management or the fee payable by the referred clients’ assets invested in various Oppenheimer advisory programs, investment partnerships or private funds sponsored by Oppenheimer (only if investor is qualified); or a percentage of commission fees for accounts maintained at Oppenheimer in connection with Oppenheimer’s business as a broker-dealer. The client does not incur any additional fees as a result of such client referral arrangements. Cash assets in the Advisory Programs will be invested at certain participating banks in the ABD Program. The ABD Program may be significantly more profitable to Oppenheimer than money market fund sweep vehicles. The fee payable to Oppenheimer may be as high as 5% of the household balances invested in the ABD Program. Oppenheimer retains fees earned on cash deposits for retirement accounts in the ABD Program. This practice presents a conflict of interest and gives an FA incentive to recommend holding cash based on the compensation received, rather than on a client’s needs. 19  ITEM 15. CUSTODY Oppenheimer is a qualified custodian and maintains direct custody of clients’ funds or securities. Oppenheimer sends clients a monthly account statement and confirmation statements after each transaction for accounts that pay commissions. Clients may decide to custody their funds and securities at a qualified custodian other than Oppenheimer. In that case, clients will receive account statements from the broker-dealer, bank or other qualified custodian and should carefully review those statements. Clients in certain advisory program accounts also receive a quarterly performance report from Oppenheimer. Clients should carefully compare the account statement they receive from their qualified custodian to the quarterly performance report they receive from Oppenheimer. In the course of executing client instructions, Oppenheimer may authorize and facilitate the transfer of client funds between qualified custodians to facilitate the execution such client instructions. Clients may request a copy of the most recent Report on Oppenheimer & Co. Inc.'s Description of the System and the Suitability of the Design and Operating Effectiveness of its Controls Related to Its Custody Services (prepared pursuant to Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagement No. 18) by contacting Brian Roth at Brian.Roth@opco.com. ITEM 16. INVESTMENT DISCRETION Oppenheimer accepts discretionary authority to manage securities accounts for clients. This authority is stated in the investment management agreement that Oppenheimer enters into with the client. Clients may specify certain types of securities that they do not want us to purchase for their account and may otherwise limit our discretion. ITEM 17. VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES Unless a client directs otherwise, Oppenheimer votes proxies for securities held in advisory accounts for the following programs: OMEGA, UMA Directed, FAM and PAS Directed. Oppenheimer has adopted policies with respect to the voting of proxies for client accounts, which are summarized below. Oppenheimer has engaged Glass Lewis & Co. Inc. (“Glass Lewis”) to provide research and advice on shareholder voting. Oppenheimer has reviewed and adopted Glass Lewis guidelines on proxy voting. ProxyEdge is integrated with voting recommendations from Glass Lewis and the system is set to automatically vote a meeting for all holders based upon the Glass Lewis recommendation. Although definitive voting decisions and / or recommendations made by Glass Lewis will be accepted, the Proxy Oversight Working Group (the “Working Group”) retains the authority to override the Glass Lewis recommendation during this process. From time to time Glass Lewis may not have specific guidance and thus the item is handled on a case-by-case basis. Certain case-by-case items, such as majority owner questions, may not require the convening of the Working Group. However, there may be certain case-by-case items that may require the convening of the Working Group. For proposals that fall into this category, the OAM Proxy Administrator will arrange for a meeting to be held by the Working Group. Working Group members will meet either in-person, telephonically, or electronically, and will vote in favor of what would be considered to be in the best economic interests of the clients. The final vote will be determined by the Working Group’s majority vote prior to the voting deadline due date. Oppenheimer may consult with Glass Lewis for matters that are decided on a case-by-case basis. Certain FAM Portfolio Managers will vote proxies upon written request of the client. Those certain FAM Portfolio Managers will vote proxies for certain FAM client accounts using ProxyEdge without advice from Glass Lewis. Unless a client directs otherwise, Oppenheimer will not send annual reports, proxy statements and other materials issued by portfolio companies in which a client’s assets are invested. Clients may request information on how Oppenheimer has voted proxies for their accounts and may request Oppenheimer’s Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures by contacting: 20  Oppenheimer & Co.
