HNW client percentage for Multi-team firms serving clients in Mississippi

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 accessibility for a wider range of investors.

In Mississippi, among multi-team firms—those with 30 to 300 advisors or managing over $3 billion in assets—the median HNW client percentage is 11.14%, which is notably lower than the national median of 20.2%. This distribution shows that many firms in the state serve a more diverse client base, with fewer clients meeting the high-net-worth criteria. The range also suggests a mix of firm strategies: some may be early-stage multi-team firms still building their HNW client base, while others intentionally maintain broader access with lower minimums. With 89 firms represented, this variety offers options for different client needs and preferences.

For you, this means the HNW client percentage is a useful signal about a firm’s client focus but not a definitive measure of quality. Higher percentages often come with more personalized, complex planning suited to wealthier clients, while lower percentages may indicate more standardized services and lower entry points.
