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 often reflect firms focused on complex, bespoke planning for wealthier individuals, while lower percentages suggest broader access with more standardized services.

In Oregon, among supported firms—those with 1 to 4 advisors plus staff or managing over $200 million—the median HNW client percentage is 27.78%, slightly below the national median of 29.32%. With 212 firms represented, the distribution ranges from firms serving virtually no HNW clients up to those with about 76% HNW clients. This spread suggests a diverse advisory landscape in Oregon, where some firms focus on affluent and pre-retiree households with scalable, standardized planning, while others cater more heavily to high-net-worth clients requiring tailored, complex services. The variation reflects deliberate positioning rather than firm maturity, with some firms choosing broader access and others emphasizing bespoke wealth management.

For you, understanding a firm’s HNW client percentage can clarify whether its services align with your financial situation and goals. There is no single “right” percentage—firms with lower HNW shares may offer more accessible, streamlined advice, while those with higher shares often provide deeper, more customized planning.
