AUM per client for Supported firms serving clients in Connecticut

AUM per client measures the average assets a firm manages for each client, offering insight into the type of clients a firm serves. Higher AUM per client often indicates firms focused on wealthier clients with more complex financial needs, while lower figures suggest firms designed for broader access and more standardized services.

In Connecticut, supported firms—those with 1 to 4 advisors plus staff or managing over $200 million—have a median AUM per client of about $841,600, slightly above the national median. The distribution ranges broadly, with some firms managing as little as around $95,500 per client and others exceeding $4 million. This spread suggests a diverse market: some firms cater to affluent clients with scalable, efficient services, while others focus on high-net-worth individuals requiring highly personalized, complex planning. The variation reflects intentional positioning rather than firm maturity, highlighting different approaches within the state’s advisory landscape.

For you, understanding AUM per client helps clarify what kind of service model a firm might offer. There’s no single “right” number—higher AUM per client often means more tailored, in-depth planning with higher minimums, while lower numbers may indicate more accessible, streamlined services.
