HNW client percentage for Enterprise firms serving clients in Oregon

High-net-worth (HNW) client percentage represents the share of a firm’s clients who meet the SEC’s threshold for high net worth—generally around $1.1 million in managed assets or $2.2 million in net worth. This metric helps indicate the type of clients a firm primarily serves. Higher percentages often mean the firm focuses on more complex, bespoke planning for wealthier clients, while lower percentages suggest broader access with more standardized services.

In Oregon, among enterprise firms—those with 300 to 3,000 advisors or over $30 billion in assets—the median HNW client percentage is 16.25%, somewhat below the national median of 20.44%. The distribution shows a range from very low percentages up to about 52.5%, indicating that while some firms lean toward serving mostly affluent or mass-affluent clients, others have a stronger focus on high-net-worth individuals. This spread suggests a mix of firm strategies: some may be early-stage or intentionally broad in client mix, while others concentrate on high-net-worth segments. With 68 enterprise firms active in Oregon, clients have a variety of options depending on their financial profile and service needs.

For you, this means the HNW client percentage is a useful signal of a firm’s typical client base and service style, but not a measure of quality. A higher percentage usually means higher minimums and more tailored advice, while a lower percentage often means more accessible services with standardized processes. Use this metric alongside others to find a firm that aligns with your financial situation and preferences.
