HNW client percentage for Team firms serving clients in Idaho

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: a higher percentage suggests a focus on wealthier clients with more complex financial needs, while a lower percentage points to broader access and potentially more standardized services.

In Idaho, among team firms—those with 5 to 30 advisors or managing over $500 million in assets—the median HNW client percentage is 25.74%, slightly below the national median of 32.21%. With 120 such firms active in the state, the distribution ranges from firms serving virtually no HNW clients up to those with about 67% HNW clients. This spread suggests a diverse landscape: some Idaho team firms may be in earlier growth stages or intentionally maintain broader client bases with lower minimums, while others focus more heavily on high-net-worth families, offering specialized estate, tax, and investment planning. The presence of firms across this range indicates that Idaho clients can find both more accessible, scaled advice and highly tailored wealth management within the team firm category.

For you, understanding where a firm’s HNW client percentage falls can clarify the kind of service and client minimums to expect. There’s no single “right” number—it’s about fit. Higher percentages often mean more bespoke, complex planning with higher minimums, while lower percentages typically reflect broader access and standardized processes. Use this metric alongside others to gauge how a firm aligns with your financial situation and relationship preferences.
