“The Right Way to Invest” & Fireman’s Carry symbol (Oppenheimer Funds)
Oppenheimer Funds is now owned by the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual), but Oppenheimer maintains a presence at Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street.
Oppenheimer's motto is "The Right Way to Invest." It's logo (since 1964) features four hands clasped to form a square, known as the "fireman's carry."

OppenheimerFunds traces its origins to Oppenheimer & Co., a brokerage firm founded in the early 1950s. In 1960, Oppenheimer & Co. decided to create a separate subsidiary to manage its mutual fund business and organized Oppenheimer Management Corporation to act as the investment adviser for the Oppenheimer Fund, which was first offered to the public on April 30, 1959. Oppenheimer Management Corporation was renamed OppenheimerFunds, Inc. in 1996.

The OppenheimerFunds four-hands logo, adopted in 1964, has undergone subtle stylistic modifications over the decades yet its essence has remained intact as a symbol of the time-tested philosophy that has unwaveringly guided the Company through both up and down markets. Our logo depicts the "fireman's carry," in which four hands join together to provide greater strength and support than any one individual can provide alone—a representation of OppenheimerFunds' partnerships with both advisors and investors. Initially used to promote the original Oppenheimer Fund in 1964, the four-hands logo eventually came to symbolize the entire Company.
Dovetailing with the logo is OppenheimerFunds' tagline, The Right Way to Invest, which captures the Company's focus on integrity and principled investing as integral components of a long-term investment strategy. Used for the first time in 1996, The Right Way to Invest is more than just an advertising slogan: It embodies the way the Company and its employees consistently conduct business on behalf of the advisors and investors we serve. And, it captures the steadfast commitment of OppenheimerFunds employees to the Company's Principles of Investing, which shape how we approach the markets and manage money. Finally, The Right Way to Invest recognizes our reputation for investment excellence, which has been established over a more than 40-year history of providing strong long-term results in even the most difficult market climates.

29 October 1997, New York Times, "New Ad Themes Come With Tumult in Market" by Stuart Elliott, pg. D8:
"You always have a contingency plan because declines are something you always worry about on a short-term basis," said Ron Berger, a partner at Messner Berger Vetere McNamee Schmetterer Euro RSCG in New York, a unit of Havas Advertising that handles campaigns for Oppenheimer Funds Inc. and the Nasdaq stock market.
"But by the time we got a chance to talk about the market," he added, "it went up 150 points."
Besides, Mr. Berger said, "for Oppenheimer, we talk about 'The right way to invest,' which is that if you're in the marketplace, you ought to be in for the long haul."
