HNW client percentage for Enterprise firms serving clients in New Mexico

High-net-worth (HNW) client percentage measures the share of a firm’s clients who meet the SEC’s high-net-worth threshold—roughly $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 planning needs, while a lower percentage points to broader accessibility and more standardized services.

In New Mexico, among enterprise firms with 300 to 3,000 advisors or over $30 billion in assets, the median HNW client percentage is 11.76%, which is notably lower than the national median of 20.44%. This suggests that many New Mexico-based enterprise firms serve a larger proportion of affluent or mass-affluent clients rather than predominantly high-net-worth individuals. The distribution, ranging mostly between about 0.07% and 33.86%, indicates a mix of firms—some may be early in developing their HNW practices, while others intentionally maintain a broader client base to offer more accessible services. This diversity reflects the varied client needs and market dynamics within the state.

For you, understanding a firm’s HNW client percentage provides insight into its typical client profile and service approach. There’s no single “right” percentage; higher values often mean more personalized, complex planning for wealthier clients, while lower values can indicate greater accessibility and standardized offerings.
