Item 7.01                   Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously disclosed, holders of units in our subsidiary, Focus Financial Partners, LLC, will be permitted to exercise their rights to exchange such units for shares of our Class A common stock, on a one-for-one common unit equivalent basis, on quarterly exchange dates with respect to one-twelfth of the units held by them at the closing of our initial public offering, with an ability to carry forward unused exchange rights to subsequent exchange dates. We have determined that the first such quarterly exchange date will be March 18, 2019, with the exchange notices from those holders electing to make exchanges being due to the company on or prior to March 1, 2019.

The company intends to provide notice of subsequent exchange dates in the “Investor Resources/Investor FAQ” portion of the “Investor Relations” section of www.focusfinancialpartners.com and through e-mails to holders of such units and not through any other means.
