Oppenheimer hosts fifth annual Next-Gen peer-to-peer forum. Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. August 19, 2026 Approximately 60 Financial Advisors representing $7.2 billion in client assets gather in New York City. Annual program reflects Oppenheimer's continued investment in the development and long-term success of its next generation of advisors. NEW YORK, August 19, 2026 - Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. (Oppenheimer), a leading investment bank, wealth manager and subsidiary of Oppenheimer Holdings Inc. (NYSE: OPY), recently hosted its fifth annual Next-Gen Peer-to-Peer Forum in New York City, bringing together approximately 60 Financial Advisors from across the country. Held at One World Trade Center overlooking Lower Manhattan, the program gave attendees an opportunity to exchange ideas, discuss common challenges and learn from one another. Collectively, the participating advisors represent approximately $7.2 billion in assets under management and $41 million in annual revenue. "Now in its fifth year, the Next-Gen Peer-to-Peer Forum reflects Oppenheimer's commitment to investing the time and resources into developing the next generation of advisors," said Ed Harrington, Executive Vice President and Head of Oppenheimer's Private Client Division. "The event brings together advisors who are building substantial businesses but at the same time navigating similar challenges. By giving them a setting to speak candidly and share practical insights, we help them strengthen how they serve clients and continue growing their practices." "Now in its fifth year, the Next-Gen Peer-to-Peer Forum reflects Oppenheimer's commitment to investing the time and resources into developing the next generation of advisors" Ed Harrington, Executive Vice President and Head of Oppenheimer's Private Client Division Oppenheimer developed the Next-Gen Peer-to-Peer Forum to help emerging leaders develop the skills, relationships and perspective required to build successful careers. The program forms part of the firm's broader investment in the long-term success of its advisor workforce. Discussions throughout the program focused on the issues shaping the future of the wealth management industry and the decisions that will influence the growth of attendees' businesses. Topics included building scalable practices, developing effective teams, incorporating artificial intelligence and other technologies to improve efficiency, differentiating investment advice and positioning practices to meet the evolving expectations of future generations of clients. The Forum also encouraged attendees to challenge conventional thinking and offer candid perspectives on what it takes to compete in a rapidly changing industry. Their engagement, thoughtfulness and willingness to contribute underscored the strength of Oppenheimer's next generation of advisors. "The Peer-to-Peer Forum works because the advisors drive the conversation," said Nicholas Siconolfi, Managing Director and Head of National Sales for Oppenheimer's Private Client Division. "Each of our Next Gen advisors brings a unique perspective, but they all share a common goal of continuously enhancing the client experience while building practices designed to endure and adapt. The ideas exchanged throughout the forum help shape the future of our firm. Our advisors learn from one another, and as leaders, we gain invaluable firsthand insight into what they need to succeed. Every year, this event reinforces that the future of our firm is in very capable hands." "Oppenheimer is an ideal place for advisors to build and grow their careers over time," Harrington added. "We are committed to giving talented advisors the tools, resources and support they need to succeed, and the Next-Gen Peer-to-Peer Forum is an important part of that commitment. It helps emerging leaders strengthen their professional networks, develop as business owners and play a meaningful role in the future of the firm. We believe the most important investment we can make is in our people. The firms that endure are those that develop talent, not simply acquire it. By bringing together advisors who are committed to building exceptional practices, we are helping to develop the next generation of leaders while strengthening the long-term future of Oppenheimer and the clients we serve."

Advisor moves: Cetera scoops up $420M Commonwealth duo in North Carolina. The Tuckery Bria Wealth Strategies team in North Carolina. Meanwhile, Ameriprise has added a Florida-based veteran formerly with Oppenheimer just as it loses a similarly seasoned professional to Prudential Advisors in New Jersey. AUG 12, 2026 The war for advisor talent continued in earnest this week in the East Coast, with Cetera picking up another Commonwealth team in North Carolina just as Ameriprise welcomes a Florida-based advisor while losing another to Prudential Advisors in New Jersey. Tucker Bria Wealth Strategies moves to Cetera. Durham, North Carolina-based Tucker Bria Wealth Strategies, led by Jim Tucker and Patrick Bria, has joined Cetera through its Summit Financial Networks channel, bringing with it approximately $420 million in assets under administration. The firm's tagline, "Life alters wealth," reflects its focus on financial planning for clients navigating major transitions such as inheritances, business sales and other life events. Tucker and Bria, who have known each other since their teenage years in Pittsburgh and later swam together at Duke University, built the practice together since 2013. The pair spent more than a decade at Commonwealth before LPL Financial's acquisition last year prompted them to evaluate other options, according to Cetera. Their search spanned both traditional broker-dealer and independent registered investment advisor models before they settled on Cetera's Summit community. Continuity was a central consideration, as the firm said it was able to retain its existing custodial relationship with Fidelity's National Financial Services and continue using third-party technology already embedded in its client service workflow. "We wanted a partner strong enough to provide the compliance, technology and back-office support we didn't want to build ourselves, but flexible enough to let us keep running our business exactly the way we always have," Tucker said, highlighting how Summit's "clear reason for being... mattered to us as much as anything else." Tucker Bria's next generation of advisors, including Josh Polidori, Chris Bleeker and Taylor Clement, already serve as primary contacts for many of the practice's second- and third-generation clients, according to the firm. Cetera reported that its advisor network manages approximately $630 billion in assets under administration and $296 billion in assets under management as of March 31. Three-decade veteran departs Oppenheimer for Ameriprise. In Boca Raton, Florida, advisor Mitchell Edenbaum has moved his practice to the branch channel of Ameriprise Financial after departing Oppenheimer & Co., bringing more than $145 million in client assets. Edenbaum, who has spent three decades in the industry, cited the firm's technology platform and what he described as a deep institutional commitment to advisor growth, as well as Ameriprise's strong leadership, as key factors in his decision. "I'm excited about this next chapter and look forward to leveraging the firm's capabilities to continue delivering exceptional service while growing my business," Edenbaum said. He is supported locally by Branch Manager Drew Granauro, Complex Director Dan Landrau and Regional Vice President Mike Rearden, according to Ameriprise. Ameriprise noted that it has added roughly 1,700 advisors over the past five years, a pace the firm has attributed to continued investment in its advisor support infrastructure. Prudential Advisors' NJ Wealth Partners picks up Ameriprise veteran. In Holmdel, New Jersey, longtime advisor Christopher Grella has joined Prudential Advisors' NJ Wealth Partners headquartered in Holmdel, New Jersey. Grella departed Ameriprise, where he most recently served as a vice president overseeing more than $110 million in client assets. Grella's career has spanned Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, Janney Montgomery Scott and MetLife before an extended run as an independent advisor and later at Ameriprise. "I've built my business on my deeply held values of building confidence, transparency, empathy, and personalized guidance to create lasting relationships and seek better outcomes for clients and their families," Grella said. According to his BrokerCheck record, Grella is currently registered as an investment advisor and broker at LPL, which in 2024 completed a partnership deal with Prudential to provide operational support thousands of Prudential's retail advisors. Rob Nigro, managing director at Prudential Advisors, said Grella's emphasis on long-term, generational client relationships aligned with the firm's approach at NJ Wealth Partners, which operates on an open-architecture platform designed for established advisors seeking to scale their practices. Prudential Advisors supports more than 3,000 financial advisors nationally, according to the firm, while parent company Prudential Financial reported approximately $1.6 trillion in assets under management as of June 30.
