AUM per client for Supported firms serving clients in Utah

Assets under management (AUM) per client measures the average amount of money 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 high-net-worth individuals with more complex financial needs, while lower figures suggest firms designed for broader access and more standardized services.

In Utah, supported firms—those with 1 to 4 advisors plus staff or managing over $200 million—have a median AUM per client of about $530,000, which is below the national median of roughly $784,000. The distribution ranges widely, from around $33,000 at the lower end to nearly $2.8 million at the higher end, reflecting diverse approaches among Utah advisors. This spread suggests some firms are intentionally built to serve a larger number of clients with more accessible minimums and streamlined services, while others focus on fewer clients with more tailored, complex planning. The presence of both models indicates a healthy variety of options depending on client needs and firm design.

For you, this means there is no single “right” AUM per client number—it’s about fit. A lower AUM per client may offer more affordable entry points and standardized advice, while a higher figure often corresponds to more personalized, comprehensive planning. Use this metric alongside others to understand how a firm’s structure aligns with your financial situation and goals.
