RIA Beacon Pointe says it has reached a deal with KKR, which will make a large investment in the female-led RIA. After the KKR investment, the Beacon Pointe team will still own over 50% of the firm, which has about 110 financial advisors and $20 billion in client assets under management, and Abry Partners will no longer have an investment in it.
Beacon Pointe says it has grown by $10 billion in assets and nearly doubled the size of its professional staff. The Newport Beach, California-based firm has made eight acquisitions this year and expects to close several more transactions by year-end.
"We are particularly excited about what this strategic partnership will mean for our team, company growth and, most importantly, the services we provide to our clients," according to Beacon Pointe CEO Shannon Eusey.
"With the support of KKR's deep experience and resources, Beacon Pointe will have the opportunity to further invest in the business and continue to expand our footprint across the nation," Eusey added.
