AUM per client for Multi-team firms serving clients in New Jersey

Assets under management (AUM) per client measures the average amount of assets a firm manages for each client, offering insight into the type of clients a firm serves. Higher AUM per client often indicates firms that cater to wealthier individuals with more complex financial needs, while lower figures suggest broader access with more standardized services.

In New Jersey, multi-team firms—those with 30 to 300 advisors or managing over $3 billion—have a median AUM per client of about $665,000, slightly above the national median of $653,000. The distribution shows a range from roughly $200,000 up to nearly $2.8 million at the higher end, indicating a diverse client base. This spread suggests that some firms in New Jersey focus on serving affluent clients with substantial assets, while others maintain a broader approach to include mass-affluent households. The variation also reflects the presence of different service tiers within firms, from more accessible planning teams to specialized groups handling high-net-worth clients.

For you, understanding AUM per client helps clarify whether a firm’s client profile aligns with your financial situation and service expectations. There is no single “right” number; higher AUM per client can mean more personalized, complex planning but often comes with higher minimums, while lower AUM per client may offer greater accessibility with more standardized services. Use this metric alongside others to find an advisor whose approach fits your needs and goals.
