AUM per client for Team firms serving clients in Indiana

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 broader access with more standardized services. Team firms—those with 5 to 30 advisors or managing over $500 million—typically have the infrastructure to deliver consistent, collaborative advice to a focused client base.

In Indiana, among 194 team firms, the median AUM per client is about $691,000, which is somewhat below the broader national median of roughly $1.02 million. The distribution here ranges from around $159,000 to over $3.6 million per client, indicating a diverse set of firms. This spread suggests that many Indiana team firms serve affluent clients with scalable, repeatable planning processes, while others focus on higher-net-worth individuals requiring more bespoke services. The variation also reflects different firm stages—some may be growing and building their client base, while others intentionally maintain a smaller, wealthier clientele.

For you, this means that AUM per client is a helpful signal of the firm’s service model and client focus but not a measure of quality. Higher AUM per client often means more personalized, complex planning with higher minimums, whereas lower numbers may indicate more accessible, standardized offerings.
