HNW client percentage for Multi-team firms serving clients in Puerto Rico

High-net-worth (HNW) client percentage measures the share of a firm’s clients who meet the SEC’s high-net-worth threshold, indicating the firm’s focus on wealthier individuals 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 different client segments served across various teams, from mass-affluent to ultra-high-net-worth.

In Puerto Rico, the median HNW client percentage among multi-team firms is notably low at 0.0%, with most firms serving very few or no clients meeting the high-net-worth criteria. However, the distribution shows some variation, with a few firms reaching up to 95.4% HNW clients. This suggests that while many firms in Puerto Rico focus on broader access or mass-affluent clients, a small number are oriented toward serving wealthier households. The low median could reflect either firms in earlier growth stages or those intentionally structured to serve a wider client base rather than concentrating on high-net-worth individuals.

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 it’s not a measure of quality. A higher percentage usually indicates firms with higher minimums and more personalized, complex planning, while a lower percentage suggests broader access and more standardized services. Use this metric alongside others to find a firm that matches your financial situation and service preferences.
