HNW client percentage for Team firms serving clients in Arizona

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 and more standardized planning.

In Arizona, among team firms—those with 5 to 30 advisors or managing over $500 million in assets—the median HNW client percentage is 26.87%, slightly below the national median of 32.21%. The distribution shows a wide range, with some firms serving very few HNW clients and others focusing heavily on this segment. This suggests that Arizona’s team firms vary in their client focus: some may be early-stage or intentionally broad-access firms serving a wider affluent market, while others concentrate on high-net-worth families requiring more specialized services. The presence of firms across the spectrum reflects a diverse advisory landscape, offering different levels of minimums and service complexity.

For you, this means the HNW client percentage is a useful signal about a firm’s typical client base and service model, but there is no single “right” number. A higher percentage often means higher minimums and more bespoke planning, while a lower percentage usually indicates broader access and more standardized offerings.
