AUM per client for Team firms serving clients in Minnesota

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 and more standardized services.

In Minnesota, among team firms—those with 5 to 30 advisors or managing over $500 million—the median AUM per client is about $880,000. This is somewhat below the national median of roughly $1,016,000 for similar firms. The distribution shows a range from around $220,000 to over $4.4 million per client, indicating a diverse market. Many Minnesota teams focus on affluent clients with solid, repeatable planning processes, while others serve higher-net-worth individuals requiring more specialized advice. This spread reflects two common interpretations: some firms are intentionally structured to serve a larger number of clients with standardized services, while others maintain higher minimums and offer more bespoke planning.

For you, understanding AUM per client helps clarify what kind of advisory experience to expect. A higher number usually means more personalized, complex service but also higher minimums, whereas a lower number suggests easier access but potentially less customization. There’s no single “correct” figure—it depends on your financial situation and preferences. Use this metric alongside others to find a firm that aligns with your needs and goals.
