Beacon Pointe also uses third-party managers, and their fees are separate from Beacon Pointe's fees. Some clients may pay a percentage of profits from certain investments instead of a management fee. Clients in the American Funds F-2 Direct Program pay between 0.25% and 1.0% of the value of assets invested in the program. Clients in the sub-advisory program through SEI pay a 0.08% fee in addition to the advisory fee paid to Beacon Pointe.
