Institutional Consulting Services
Beacon Pointe is an independent advisory firm dedicated to providing thoughtful investment guidance and comprehensive consulting services to institutions.
Institutional Service Offerings
Beacon Pointe consultants are proactive partners who seek to be an extension of a client’s internal staff. They are dedicated to understanding all aspects of the institution’s investment objectives, conveying knowledgeable guidance, and providing exceptional service to a wide array of clientele. As a fiduciary, Beacon Pointe utilizes a client-focused approach to investment advice intentionally separating the key duties of consultant, custodian, and asset manager, thereby minimizing conflicts of interest and always making decisions in the best interest of clients.
