Our Story

Silver Oak started as a small broker-dealer supporting commission-only representatives. Over time, we grew by embracing how professionals could mix low cost advisor solutions and planning with traditional broker dealer products. We eventually discovered inflection points that could present opportunities for professionals to better serve their customers leading to the creation of investment banking and wealth management solutions. Since then we have grown to become a full-service financial institution that offers a full-suite of advisory solutions.

We have a passion for the independent professional and believe that tremendous opportunities exist to help advisors and their customers as their needs evolve over time. As we look to the future, we believe we can help financial professionals help their customers make critical financial decisions.

The Broker Dealer Re-Imagined

Every independent professional remembers the truly great firm they worked with. That friendly, professional, and forward thinking firm that cared about you and your clients and understood where you wanted your practice to go. We believe that we can be that firm for you. We are not a Broker Dealer or an RIA. We are both.

We provide an intelligent and collaborative wealth management platform designed to simplify the complexity of digitization and connection to the best in the industry. A platform with the full range of products and services to meet the needs of every investor. A transition to Silver Oak can not only be a refresh – but also a rethink!

Enough about our business, let’s talk about yours!
