About the Advisor AUM Growth Simulator

Model AUM compounding from market returns and net client flows, and the recurring fee revenue it generates.

It's built for directional planning: change any assumption and watch the whole projection move, the way a seasoned operator pressure-tests a plan before committing capital. Everything is computed live in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.

How the Advisor AUM Growth Simulator Works

The model takes 4 assumptions and returns 2 headline metrics plus a full breakdown. Here is exactly what goes in and what comes out — no black box.

The Operator's Read

AUM compounds two ways — markets and net flows — and your fee rides on top. This is why advisory practices are such durable, saleable businesses: the revenue grows even when you're not selling.

Assumptions & Limitations

  • The model is deterministic: it projects your inputs forward with clear arithmetic, not a Monte-Carlo or probabilistic forecast. It shows one scenario at a time — run several to bracket a range.
  • Defaults are illustrative benchmarks, not your business. Replace every field with your real numbers before drawing conclusions.
  • It abstracts away taxes, financing, seasonality, and one-off events unless a field explicitly captures them. Treat the output as a directional estimate.
  • This is an educational tool, not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Validate real decisions with a qualified professional.

How do I use the Advisor AUM Growth Simulator?

Enter your own figures in the input fields above — Starting AUM, Net flows / year, Market return, and the rest. The model recalculates instantly and shows the resulting Year 10 AUM and full breakdown. No sign-up needed to run it.
