OpenBook: Open An Account

Institutional investors who wish to bid in OpenBook auctions will need an account with one of the joint managers in the offering.

To bid using an existing account with one of the joint managers in the offering, review the participation agreement and contact your sales person at that firm to obtain a User ID and password. When you log in to an auction for the first time, you will be asked to agree to the participation agreement. Clicking “I Agree”; will activate your account for bidding.

To open an institutional account with WRH+Co:

1. Review the participation agreement.
2. Print, complete, and sign the account application.
3. Mail or fax the completed account application to:

New Account Department
WR Hambrecht + Co
12 East 49th Street, 40th Floor
New York, NY 10017

Or fax to 1-212-313-5959

After WRH+Co has approved your account for bidding, we will send you an OpenBook auction User ID and password.
