The Baker Group, created in 1979, is one of the largest independently-owned investment service firms domiciled in the State of Oklahoma.  The firm has purposefully designed the OSMA Investment Program to offer investment services that are unique from other large brokerage firms, trust departments, and financial planners.  Clients are able to choose among publicly traded stocks, bonds, no-load mutual funds, load mutual funds (many at net asset value), and the firm does not offer any proprietary investments.  Each client receives customized reports; including a monthly portfolio statement and a quarterly asset allocation and performance reports.   In addition, each client is managed as a separate portfolio, and funds are not pooled into investments funds.  As an independent investment firm no brokerage house, bank, or other entity influences investment decisions.  Instead the firm’s focus is on customizing services to provide each client a confidential relationship tailored to their financial objectives.

Exclusive benefits are available to the OSMA member including discounts on commissions or fees.  In addition, The Baker Group will provide members a detailed comparison of the OSMA Investment Program versus their current advisor.  The OSMA Investment Program provides the OSMA member the advantages of a large local investment firm and the customized services of a personal money manager.
