AUM per client for Independent firms serving clients in Utah

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 complex, personalized planning. Lower AUM per client suggests firms with broader access and more standardized services.

In Utah, independent firms show a median AUM per client of about $310,878, which is below the broader independent firm median. With 142 firms represented, this distribution suggests many Utah-based advisors serve clients with more moderate asset levels. This could mean a mix of early-stage practices building their client base or firms intentionally focusing on mass-affluent or emerging-wealth clients. At the same time, some boutique firms with higher AUM per client also operate here, reflecting a range from more accessible services to highly specialized wealth management within the state.

For you, this means the AUM per client figure helps clarify what kind of advisory experience to expect. A higher number might signal a boutique firm with tailored, complex planning, while a lower number often points to broader access and more standardized offerings. There’s no single “right” number—it depends on your investment size, planning needs, and desired level of attention. Use this metric alongside others to find the best fit for your financial goals.
