Fee Structure

Focus Financial Network offers personalized investment management services where advisors manage your investments based on your individual needs. Fees are typically charged quarterly, in advance, based on the value of your portfolio. The fee percentage is determined by your advisor and depends on factors like the type of service, account size, and complexity. FFN offers flat, linear, and tiered fee schedules. With a flat fee, your entire portfolio is billed at one percentage rate. With a linear fee schedule, the fee percentage decreases at intervals as your account value grows, and the resulting fee percentage is applied to the entire balance. With a tiered fee schedule, the asset values fall within separate tiers, and the corresponding decreasing percentage is applied to each tier.
