HNW client percentage for Team firms serving clients in Texas

High-net-worth (HNW) client percentage measures the share of a financial advisory firm's clients who meet the SEC’s high-net-worth threshold, indicating the firm’s focus and client base complexity. For team firms—those with 5 to 30 advisors or managing over $500 million in assets—this metric helps reveal whether the practice is geared toward affluent clients broadly or more specialized, complex HNW planning.

In Texas, among 2,932 team firms, the median HNW client percentage is 34.07%, slightly above the national median of 32.21%. The distribution shows that many Texas firms serve a balanced mix of affluent and high-net-worth clients, with boundaries ranging from about 3% to over 81%. This suggests a diverse landscape where some teams focus on broader affluent planning with standardized services, while others concentrate on a higher proportion of HNW clients requiring more tailored, complex advice. The presence of firms across the spectrum reflects both early-stage teams building toward a more defined HNW clientele and established teams intentionally maintaining a broader client base.

For you, understanding a firm’s HNW client percentage offers insight into its service model and client focus but isn’t a measure of quality. Higher percentages often mean higher minimums and more bespoke planning, while lower percentages typically indicate broader access and more standardized offerings. Use this metric alongside others to find a firm that matches your financial complexity and relationship preferences.
