About the Branch

For nearly twenty years, Oppenheimer has served the Pacific Northwest, from our Seattle and Bellevue offices, by curating the financial needs of high-net-worth individuals, corporations and non-profit organizations. We offer Financial Professionals autonomy to build their own businesses, and the opportunity to combine the considerable resources and tools of a national boutique with their own experience and management style.

We value individuals, and honor the partnerships we have by supporting independence, offering open architecture, and encouraging creative and entrepreneurial thinking. We value your freedom to apply financial strategies, establish a business model, and focus on your mission. A hallmark of our culture is keeping lines of communication short, with unfettered access to firm management and department leaders, decision makers and specialized professionals. The end result is a combination of positive team collaboration and broad based support from the Firm, with minimized distractions; an increasingly rare occurrence in our industry.

Boutique offerings

Our dedicated Financial Professionals work side-by-side with clients and their families to plan, invest, monitor and transfer wealth via offerings not always available at other firms. We offer strategies and specific solutions to high net-worth individual and institutional investors, with opportunities to participate in a broad array of advisory and private equity strategies, and alternative investments for qualified investors. These strategies may include direct investments in companies, as well as indirect investments into funds, and funds of funds (both primary and secondary).

John Wayne Trail Annual Bike Ride

The weather cooperated perfectly this year for our Seattle and Bellevue branches annual bike ride down the John Wayne trail from Hyak to North Bend. The ride which starts with a 2-mile stretch thru an old train tunnel and continues for another 23 miles to North Bend over elevated bridges, past creeks and beautiful waterfalls. As you can see in the pictures the colors were on display and the warm temperatures made for perfect conditions! Be sure to join us next year when we do this again in Mid-October to capture the Fall colors at their best!

Open House

The Lake Oswego Chamber of Commerce members turned out in force to help us celebrate our Open House last week. 45 members of their community attended this gathering that allowed us to share with them the Power of Oppenheimer Thinking. Thank you so much to our partners there at Oppenheimer who were in attendance, Lisa Raboin, Art Chandler, Dan Cavagnaro and Jim Walker!
