AUM per client for Independent firms serving clients in Indiana

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. Lower AUM per client suggests firms that serve a broader client base with more standardized services and lower minimums.

In Indiana, independent firms show a median AUM per client of about $328,000, which is below the broader median for similar firms. With 208 independent firms reporting, the distribution here suggests a mix of practices: many may be early-stage advisors building their client base or serving mass-affluent clients with accessible minimums. At the same time, some firms likely focus on higher-net-worth clients, reflected in the upper range of AUM per client values. This spread highlights the diversity of independent firms in Indiana, from those offering more standardized services to boutique practices providing highly tailored advice.

For you, this means AUM per client is a helpful signal about the kind of service model a firm might offer, but it’s not a measure of quality. A higher number usually means more personalized attention and complex planning, while a lower number points to broader access and possibly more standardized offerings.
