HNW client percentage for Enterprise firms serving clients in Georgia

High-net-worth (HNW) client percentage measures the share of a firm’s clients who meet the SEC’s high-net-worth criteria—generally around $1.1 million in managed assets or $2.2 million in net worth. This metric helps indicate the type of clients a firm primarily serves: a higher percentage suggests a focus on wealthier clients with more complex financial needs, while a lower percentage points to broader accessibility and more standardized services.

In Georgia, among the 83 enterprise firms—those with 300 to 3,000 advisors or over $30 billion in assets—the median HNW client percentage is 21.5%. This aligns closely with the national median of 20.44%, suggesting that Georgia’s large firms have a client base balanced between high-net-worth individuals and affluent or mass-affluent clients. The distribution ranges from just over 0% to nearly 66%, indicating a wide variety of firm focuses within the state. Some firms may be early-stage or intentionally designed to serve a broader market with lower minimums, while others concentrate heavily on HNW clients requiring more bespoke planning.

For you, this means the HNW client percentage is a useful signal about a firm’s typical client profile but not a definitive measure of quality. Higher percentages often mean more tailored, complex services with higher minimums, whereas lower percentages suggest more accessible, standardized offerings.
