HNW client percentage for Supported firms serving clients in Georgia

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 is designed to serve: higher percentages suggest a focus on wealthier clients with more complex financial needs, while lower percentages point to broader access for affluent or pre-retiree households.

In Georgia, among supported firms—those with 1 to 4 advisors plus staff or managing over $200 million—the median HNW client percentage is 27.12%, slightly below the national median of 29.39%. With 383 firms represented, the distribution ranges from very low percentages up to about 87%, showing a diverse landscape. This suggests that many Georgia firms serve a mix of affluent and high-net-worth clients, with some focused on scalable practices for broader audiences and others catering to more bespoke, complex wealth management. The variation reflects deliberate choices by firms about their client base and service model, rather than growth stage alone.

For you, understanding a firm’s HNW client percentage can clarify whether its services align with your financial situation and goals. A lower percentage often means more standardized planning and lower minimums, while a higher percentage typically indicates tailored, complex advice for wealthier clients. There is no single “right” number—consider this metric alongside others to find a firm that matches your needs and preferences.
