About Atlanta International:
Atlanta International was formed by Gregory Fisher in 1993, at a previous firm, as a business devoted to providing brokerage and clearing services to offshore banks and broker-dealers. In 2005, Mr. Fisher joined Oppenheimer and moved the business to Oppenheimer’s platform.
Atlanta International’s client value-added has evolved and expanded at Oppenheimer, and now seeks to deliver premium fixed income trading service to our clients around the world. Serving hundreds of clients in about 25 countries in North America, and Latin America and the Caribbean, we leverage our network of trading counterparties, market views, and issuer recognition to generate potential trading ideas and relative value swaps. Our deep penetration in Central America and the Caribbean, we believe, gives us a particularly strong competitive advantage in these emerging bond markets. For example, using this network, we were able to provide clients with liquidity in some of the more esoteric sovereign and corporate bonds during the worst times of the global financial crisis in late 2008 and early 2009. While we remain actively involved in the emerging market bond arena, in the past year we have also added additional expertise within our group in the US corporate bond market, as well as the supranational bond space. We’ve been active in US Treasuries and agency debt as well.
In addition to our fixed income expertise, Atlanta International also delivers Oppenheimer’s other existing premier services to its offshore clients. These services include, but are not limited to, asset management, cash management services, clearing services, capital markets, and global equity trading. We provide all of these services at cost effective levels to our clientele.
Over the past year, we have been expanding our business across several platforms. We have hired senior salespeople specializing in high grade corporate bonds, as well as Latin America sovereign and corporate debt. We have reached out to Oppenheimer’s global network in order to deliver our clients more products and services. These include our close associations with our Israeli office, our south Florida offices, and our Caracas office, as well as leveraging Oppenheimer’s growing presence in London. Our Atlanta team now comprises two partners (Gregory Fisher and Carl Ross), five experienced salespeople, two sales assistants, and our branch manager, Nelleen Briggs.
We have already become far more active in Argentine and Venezuelan bonds, and expect these to be important markets to our group in 2010. In addition, we plan to expand our presence and trading in Latin American and work more closely with our offices in Europe and Asia, rounding out our mission of becoming a “complete” global fixed income trading team.
