AUM per client for Multi-team firms serving clients in Delaware

AUM per client measures the total assets a firm manages divided by its number of clients, offering insight into the type of clients a firm serves. Higher AUM per client often indicates firms focused on high-net-worth individuals with more complex financial needs, while lower figures suggest firms serving a broader client base with more standardized services.

In Delaware, multi-team firms—those with 30 to 300 advisors or managing over $3 billion in assets—show a median AUM per client of about $675,000, slightly above the national median of $653,000 for this category. The distribution ranges widely, from around $140,000 up to nearly $3.9 million, reflecting a diverse mix of client segments within these firms. This spread suggests that some firms in Delaware cater to clients with more modest asset levels, possibly emphasizing accessibility and standardized planning, while others focus on wealthier clients requiring tailored, complex services. The variation can also reflect firms at different growth stages or strategic focuses, from emerging teams building their client base to established firms specializing in high-net-worth households.

For you, understanding AUM per client helps clarify what kind of service and minimum investment levels to expect. There’s no single “right” number; higher AUM per client often means more personalized, sophisticated planning but may require higher minimums, while lower numbers typically indicate broader access with more standardized offerings.
