Boutique Wealth Management Firm & Private Bank in Cherry Creek, Colorado

Cherry Creek is Denver’s premier neighborhood for upscale shopping, fine dining, and sophisticated living. It is also a community First Western Trust has been a part of for more than a decade, providing tailored wealth planning services with a boutique private banking experience.

To our clients, wealth is about so much more than money. It is about living a life that is full of rich relationships, experiences, and spirit. First Western Trust brings to Cherry Creek a broad spectrum of financial services, including outstanding trusts, private banking, wealth management, and institutional-quality investment management services. Through our ConnectView approach, we look at each dimension of our client’s wealth, and each of our team members brings their unique expertise in all areas of wealth management to tailor a holistic plan that supports their long- and short-term goals. Only through our multi-dimensional approach are we able to help our clients built a wealth plan that goes beyond financials.  

Cherry Creek Mortgage and Private Banking Services

Your banking and mortgage services are an integral part of your wealth plan; however, many banks treat these as transactions. Our teams take a different approach. When you choose our Cherry Creek mortgage, lending, and banking services, you can expect our teams to take the time to fully understand your financial situation, needs, and goals. Then, we design our solutions to match your objectives.

Our Cherry Creek mortgage, lending, banking, and wealth management teams are headed by Chairman Don Silversmith and President Omar Chyou, who have assembled a group of talented individuals to deliver our wealth planning solutions through a fully-integrated, local, and personalized approach. This combination of sophisticated investment management with highly personalized private banking makes First Western Trust the best private bank for the Western wealth management client.
