Information about WR Hambrecht + Co

WR Hambrecht + Co is an US investment banker founded by Mr. William R. Hambrecht in 1998. Its impartial Internet-based auctions - OpenIPO - give small investors direct access to the IPO market and dramatically changes the financial services landscape in the US.

The distribution of shares by this auction method is based on price but not the size of order or the bidder's relationship with the underwriter. It is fairer because small investors have an equal chance at getting IPO shares.
