AUM per client for Multi-team firms serving clients in Illinois
Assets under management (AUM) per client measures the average amount of assets a firm manages for each client. This metric helps indicate the type of clients a firm is designed to serve—higher AUM per client often means the firm focuses on wealthier clients with more complex financial needs, while lower AUM per client suggests a broader client base with more standardized services.
In Illinois, among multi-team firms, the median AUM per client is about $554,438, slightly below the national median of $653,677 for firms of this size. With 309 firms and nearly 2,900 advisors represented, the distribution shows a wide range—from firms managing closer to $160,000 per client up to those exceeding $4 million. This spread suggests that Illinois multi-team firms serve a diverse clientele, from those offering more accessible, mass-affluent services to those catering to high-net-worth individuals. Some firms may be in earlier growth stages or intentionally focus on a broader client base, while others specialize in serving wealthier households with more tailored planning.
For you, this means there is no single “right” AUM per client number. A higher figure often indicates more personalized, complex service but may come with higher minimum investment requirements. A lower figure might offer easier access but with more standardized offerings. Use this metric alongside others to understand how a firm’s client focus aligns with your financial situation and service expectations.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
