HNW client percentage for Multi-team firms serving clients in Illinois
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 and potentially simpler planning.
In Illinois, among 309 multi-team firms—those with 30 to 300 advisors or managing over $3 billion in assets—the median HNW client percentage is 18.49%, slightly below the national median of 20.2%. The distribution ranges widely, with some firms serving virtually no HNW clients and others serving up to 79%. This spread suggests that Illinois multi-team firms vary significantly in their client focus. Some may be early-stage or intentionally designed to serve a broader market with lower minimums, while others concentrate more heavily on high-net-worth households, reflecting a mix of service tiers within these larger organizations.
For you, understanding a firm’s HNW client percentage offers insight into its typical client base and service approach, but it’s not a definitive measure of quality. Higher percentages often mean more personalized, complex planning with higher minimums, whereas lower percentages may indicate more standardized services and broader accessibility. Use this metric alongside others to find an advisor whose client focus and service style align with your financial situation and goals. Or, if you'd rather skip the guesswork, Warmer can help you find a financial advisor who fits your needs.

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
