AUM per client for Independent firms serving clients in Georgia

AUM per client measures the total assets a firm manages divided by its client count, offering insight into the type of clients a firm serves. Higher AUM per client often indicates firms with higher minimum investment requirements and more personalized, complex financial planning. Conversely, lower AUM per client suggests firms that serve a broader client base with more standardized services and lower minimums.

In Georgia, independent firms show a median AUM per client of about $456,634, slightly below the broader category median. With 445 firms and 372 advisors reporting, the distribution ranges from just over $125,000 at the lower quartile to more than $2.6 million at the upper end. This spread reflects a mix of early-stage advisors building their client base with lower minimums and boutique practices focusing on high-net-worth clients with more tailored services. The diversity in AUM per client highlights the variety of independent advisory models operating in the state, from those serving mass-affluent individuals to those managing substantial wealth for fewer clients.

For you, understanding AUM per client helps clarify what kind of advisory experience to expect. A higher number may mean more personalized attention and complex planning but usually requires a larger investment. A lower number might offer easier access and more standardized services. This metric is one of several to consider when comparing advisors, helping you find the right balance between personalization and scalability based on your financial situation and goals.
