Many financial advisors have found that serving a client niche not only helps them run a more efficient firm (as they work with clients facing similar planning issues), but also attracts more new clients (as they are able to offer a unique value proposition for clients within the niche). Notably, though, while certain clients are likely to stay within the niche throughout their lives (e.g., retired clients tend to remain retired until their deaths), other clients might 'evolve' out of the niche
