Our Legacy
Oakworth designed the Dryus Group to address the complexities families with generational wealth often experience. Our knowledgeable teams of financial professionals aim to provide a heightened level of service and skills, which aim to help our clients … not just for today, but for generations to come.
We named our company Oakworth to reflect the strength and value of the services we provide. The name Dryus is a derivative of the word “drys,” which means oak in Greek. Just as stately oak trees stand for generations, the goal of the Dryus Group is to help families navigate the ever-changing financial and legal environments in order to help preserve, and grow, generational wealth. Just as Oakworth values its legacy of strength and value, we know how important it is for our clients to leave their desired legacy for future generations.
Our Approach
At Oakworth, we build customized teams of experienced financial professionals to assist in the development of comprehensive strategies that are tailored to each of our client’s specific needs, goals and long-term objectives.
The Dryus Process
Making all the pieces fit
The Dryus process is a collaborative approach to help coordinate the actions of family members, other outside vendors and Oakworth’s teams of professionals. The Dryus Group works to serve as both ‘quarterback’ and valued advisor, helping all pieces of the family’s financial puzzle work together.
The Importance of Family
The strength of a lasting legacy depends on the impact an individual, an institution or a family has on themselves and their community. For families, this means establishing long-term goals and objectives which aim to meet the needs of current and future generations, all the while helping to make the world a better place. To that end, the Dryus Group will assist in coordinating family financial meetings to encourage open communication and shared understanding, and can also help make introductions to other families experiencing the same challenges, if desired.
The Dryus Difference
Our Mission: Support for family goals across generations and geographies.
The Dryus Group is an extension of Oakworth’s business model to have a deeper understanding of our clients’ financial situations, their goals and their definitions of success. While Oakworth clients have a single ‘point of contact’ for all their financial needs at our company, the Dryus Group takes this level of service one step further. By leveraging our team of financial professionals we aim to provide complex families with sensible solutions and help preserve wealth for generations. After all, that what we strive to do at Oakworth: help people (and families) succeed.
Oakworth has served individuals and families of substantial wealth since we opened our doors in 2006. All managing directors and the majority of our associates directly own shares of the company. We believe this instills a strong business-owner mentality throughout the company. We bring clients comprehensive wealth and investment management and advisory services that help achieve stability for generations.
