AUM per client for Multi-team firms serving clients in Illinois
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 a focus on wealthier clients with more complex financial needs, while lower figures suggest broader access and more standardized services. For multi-team firms—those with 30 to 300 advisors or managing over $3 billion in assets—this metric reflects a blend of different client segments and service tiers within the organization.
In Illinois, multi-team firms have a median AUM per client of about $554,000, slightly below the broader national median of $630,000. With 311 firms and nearly 2,900 advisors, the distribution ranges widely, from around $160,000 to over $4.2 million per client. This spread suggests a diverse market where some firms cater to clients with more modest asset levels, while others focus on high-net-worth individuals. The variation can reflect either firms in earlier growth stages building their client base or those intentionally serving a broader clientele with lower minimums.
For you, this means that AUM per client is a useful signal to understand how a firm structures its services and client focus, but it’s not a measure of quality. Higher numbers typically mean more personalized, complex planning, while lower numbers indicate more accessible, standardized offerings. Use this metric alongside others to find a firm that matches your financial situation and service preferences. Or, if you'd rather skip the guesswork, Warmer can help you find a financial advisor who fits your needs.
