AUM per client for Team firms serving clients in Connecticut

AUM per client measures the total assets a firm manages divided by its client count, offering insight into the type of clients a firm serves. Higher AUM per client often indicates firms with higher minimum investment requirements and more complex, personalized planning, while lower figures suggest firms that serve a broader client base with more standardized services.

In Connecticut, among team firms—which typically have 5 to 30 advisors or manage over $500 million in assets—the median AUM per client is about $1.4 million, notably higher than the national median of roughly $1 million. This suggests that many Connecticut teams focus on wealthier clients who may require more tailored financial planning and sophisticated strategies. The distribution shows a range from around $200,000 to nearly $5 million per client, reflecting a mix of firms serving both affluent households at scale and those catering to high-net-worth individuals with complex needs. This spread can indicate either firms in earlier growth stages building their client base or those intentionally maintaining smaller, high-value client rosters.

For you, understanding AUM per client helps clarify what kind of advisory experience to expect. A higher figure often means more personalized service with higher minimums, while a lower figure may offer greater accessibility but with more standardized advice. There’s no single right number—it depends on your financial situation and service preferences. Use this metric alongside others to find a firm that aligns with your goals and needs.
