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

Assets under management (AUM) per client measures the average amount of client assets a firm manages and helps indicate the type of clients a firm serves. Higher AUM per client often points to firms focused on high-net-worth individuals with more complex financial needs, while lower AUM per client suggests firms serving a broader client base with more standardized services.

In Ohio, multi-team firms—those with 30 to 300 advisors or managing over $3 billion in assets—have a median AUM per client of about $554,000, slightly below the typical national median of $630,000. The distribution shows a range from around $175,000 up to over $4 million per client, indicating a diverse mix of client segments within these firms. This spread suggests that some firms in Ohio focus on serving clients with more modest portfolios, possibly emphasizing accessibility and standardized planning, while others cater to wealthier clients requiring more personalized and complex advice. The variation also reflects that multi-team firms often have multiple service tiers, blending mass-affluent clients with high-net-worth households under one roof.

For you, this means AUM per client is a useful signal about a firm’s client focus but not a definitive measure of quality. A higher number may mean more tailored service and higher account minimums, while a lower number could indicate broader access and more standardized offerings.
