HNW client percentage for Supported firms serving clients in Oregon

High-net-worth (HNW) client percentage measures the share of a firm’s clients who meet the SEC’s high-net-worth threshold—roughly $1.1 million in managed assets or $2.2 million in net worth. This metric helps indicate the type of clients a firm is designed to serve. Higher percentages usually mean the firm focuses on clients with more complex financial needs and higher minimums, while lower percentages suggest broader access and more standardized planning.

In Oregon, among supported firms—which typically have 1 to 4 advisors with staff or manage over $200 million in assets—the median HNW client percentage is about 28.1%. This places Oregon firms close to the national median of 29.4%, showing a balanced mix of client types. The distribution ranges from firms serving almost no HNW clients to those with over 80% HNW clients, reflecting diverse business models. Some firms may intentionally focus on affluent professionals and pre-retirees with scalable services, while others cater primarily to high-net-worth individuals requiring more bespoke, complex planning. This variety suggests that supported firms in Oregon have made deliberate choices about their client base, tailoring their services accordingly.

For you, understanding a firm’s HNW client percentage offers insight into its typical client profile and service approach. There’s no single “right” percentage—it depends on your financial situation and what kind of relationship you want. Higher percentages often mean more personalized, complex advice with higher minimums, while lower percentages may indicate more accessible, standardized services.
