AUM per client for Team firms serving clients in Ohio

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 broader access with more standardized services tailored to a wider audience.

In Ohio, among team firms—which typically have 5 to 30 advisors or manage over $500 million in assets—the median AUM per client is about $863,000. This is somewhat below the broader national median of around $1 million, reflecting a distribution where many firms focus on serving affluent professionals and pre-retirees rather than exclusively high-net-worth clients. The range of AUM per client in Ohio spans from just under $200,000 to over $3.7 million, indicating a mix of firms: some are early-stage or intentionally maintain lower minimums to serve a wider client base, while others target wealthier households with more bespoke services. This spread suggests that Ohio’s team firms offer a variety of service models, from scalable, standardized advice to more tailored, complex planning.

For you, understanding where a firm falls within this range can help clarify what kind of service to expect. A higher AUM per client often means more personalized attention and sophisticated planning but usually requires a larger investment minimum. A lower number typically signals more accessible services with standardized processes. There’s no single “right” number—it depends on your financial situation and preferences. Use this metric alongside others to find a firm that aligns with your needs and goals.
