AUM per client for Team firms serving clients in Vermont

AUM per client measures the total assets a firm manages divided by its client count, offering insight into who the firm is designed to serve. Higher AUM per client often indicates firms with higher minimum investment requirements and more complex, personalized planning. Lower figures suggest broader access with more standardized services.

In Vermont, team firms—those with 5 to 30 advisors or managing over $500 million—show a median AUM per client of about $1.52 million, which is notably higher than the broader national median of roughly $1.02 million. This suggests that Vermont’s team firms tend to serve clients with more substantial assets or provide more tailored, in-depth financial planning. The distribution ranges from around $427,000 to nearly $6.8 million per client, indicating a mix of firms: some may be early-stage or intentionally smaller, focusing on affluent but accessible client bases, while others cater to high-net-worth individuals with complex needs. This spread reflects a diverse advisory landscape where client minimums and service models vary significantly.

For you, understanding AUM per client helps clarify the type of advisory experience to expect. Higher numbers often mean more bespoke service and higher minimums, while lower numbers suggest broader access and standardized offerings. There’s no single “right” figure—it’s about matching your financial situation and service preferences. Use this metric alongside others to find an advisor whose approach aligns with your goals and needs.
