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

HNW client percentage represents the share of a firm’s clients who meet the SEC’s high-net-worth threshold, indicating the firm’s focus on serving wealthier clients with more complex financial needs. For multi-team firms—those with 30 to 300 advisors or managing over $3 billion in assets—this metric reflects the blend of client segments across various specialized teams, from mass-affluent to ultra-high-net-worth.

In Oklahoma, among 124 multi-team firms, the median HNW client percentage is 10.7%, which is notably lower than the national median of 20.2%. The distribution shows many firms with very low HNW percentages, suggesting that a significant portion of these firms serve broader client bases with fewer high-net-worth households. This pattern could indicate two possibilities: some firms may be in earlier growth stages, gradually building their HNW clientele, while others may intentionally focus on more accessible service tiers with lower minimums. The range up to nearly 39% also shows that some Oklahoma firms do cater to a higher share of HNW clients, reflecting diverse business models within the state.

What this means for you is that the HNW client percentage can help you gauge a firm’s typical client profile and service approach, but there’s no single “right” number. Higher percentages often mean more tailored, complex planning for wealthier clients, while lower percentages suggest broader access and possibly more standardized services. Use this metric alongside others to find a firm that matches your financial situation and relationship preferences.
