About
Foster Group serves a mix of individual and institutional clients, including high-net-worth individuals, trusts, and retirement plans, and offers investment management, financial planning, and qualified plan consulting. For individual clients it provides three distinct service tracks—CoreWealth (digitally led), SignatureWealth (CFP-led wealth management), and SelectWealth (highly customized family engagements)—as well as institutional portfolio advisory and ERISA-related plan services.
The firm’s investment approach is grounded in a long-term, asset-allocation framework informed by Modern Portfolio Theory, with portfolios primarily implemented using low-cost mutual funds and ETFs rather than individual stocks. Foster Group supplements traditional portfolio management with technology and third‑party platforms—including use of DFA funds, Wealth.com for estate planning support, and Pontera to monitor and rebalance held-away retirement accounts—which it combines with ongoing monitoring and, when appropriate, allocation to independent managers.
Several features distinguish Foster Group from many peers: it operates at scale (dozens of advisors and multi‑billion AUM) while maintaining tiered, advisor-led family planning for complex households (SelectWealth often assigns two lead advisors and addresses family governance). The firm’s use of DFA funds (which have distribution limitations), its licensed use of Wealth.com for estate planning (with a one‑time fee offset that the brochure notes can create a conflict), and its adoption of Pontera to provide discretionary service on held-away accounts are relatively uncommon operational arrangements among comparable multi-team advisors.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
