HNW client percentage for Supported firms serving clients in Nevada

High-net-worth (HNW) client percentage represents 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 imply broader access to a wider range of clients.

In Nevada, among supported firms—those with 1 to 4 advisors plus staff or managing over $200 million in assets—the median HNW client percentage is 24.84%, slightly below the national median of 29.32%. With 155 firms and 256 advisors represented, the distribution shows many firms serving a mix of affluent and pre-retiree households, with some focusing more heavily on high-net-worth clients. The range from about 5% to nearly 80% HNW clients suggests two common approaches: some firms prioritize scalable, efficient service for a broader client base, while others concentrate on bespoke planning for wealthier individuals. This reflects deliberate strategic choices rather than early-stage growth.

For you, this means the HNW client percentage is a useful signal of a firm’s client focus and service style, not a measure of quality. A higher percentage often means higher account minimums and more tailored, complex planning, while a lower percentage typically indicates more accessible, standardized services.
