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

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 catering to high-net-worth individuals with more complex financial needs, while lower figures suggest broader access with more standardized services.

In Florida, multi-team firms—those with 30 to 300 advisors or managing over $3 billion in assets—have a median AUM per client of about $553,000, somewhat below the typical national median of $630,000. This distribution, spanning from roughly $160,000 to over $3.3 million, reflects a diverse market where some firms focus on affluent clients with substantial portfolios, while others serve a wider range of investors with more accessible minimums. The variation suggests two common scenarios: some firms are in early growth stages building their client base, while others intentionally maintain lower minimums to offer broader service tiers. This blend means that the firm-wide AUM per client number represents an average across different client segments and service models within each firm.

For you, understanding AUM per client helps clarify what kind of service and minimum investment you might expect. There’s no single “right” number—higher AUM per client can mean more personalized, complex planning but may require higher minimums, while lower numbers often indicate easier access but more standardized offerings. Use this metric alongside others to find a firm that matches your financial situation and service preferences.
