AUM per client for Team firms serving clients in Idaho

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. Lower AUM per client suggests a broader client base with more standardized services.

In Idaho, team firms—those with 5 to 30 advisors or managing over $500 million—have a median AUM per client of about $803,000, which is somewhat below the national median of roughly $1 million. The distribution shows a range from around $139,000 at the lower end up to nearly $2 million at the higher end, indicating a mix of firms serving both affluent clients at scale and some focused on higher-net-worth households. This spread suggests that Idaho’s team firms vary between those that might be earlier in their growth or intentionally serving a wider client base, and those that cater to more complex financial needs with higher minimums.

What this means for you is that AUM per client is a useful signal to understand the kind of service and client focus a firm might have, but it’s not a measure of quality. A lower AUM per client could mean more accessible, standardized advice, while a higher number often means more tailored, in-depth planning.
