HNW client percentage for Institution firms serving clients in Utah

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 financial needs, while a lower percentage points to broader access for a wider range of investors.

In Utah, among 27 institutional firms, the median HNW client percentage is 30.79%, which is notably higher than the national median of 22.36% for similar large institutions. This suggests that firms in Utah tend to serve a relatively wealthier client base compared to the broader national landscape. The distribution shows some variation, with percentages ranging from just under 2% up to about 50%, indicating a mix of firms—some may be early-stage or focused on broader markets, while others intentionally specialize in high-net-worth clients. This diversity means that while many Utah firms lean toward serving wealthier clients, there are still options for those seeking different levels of service and minimums.

For you, this means the HNW client percentage can guide your understanding of a firm’s typical client profile but isn’t a definitive measure of quality. A higher percentage often means more personalized, complex planning with higher minimums, while a lower percentage may offer more standardized services with broader access.
