About

Foster Group, Inc. advises individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), corporate and institutional clients, and retirement plans, managing roughly $4.78 billion across about 1,956 client relationships with a team of 54 advisors. The firm offers continuous investment supervisory services, financial planning, and qualified plan consulting, and segments individual clients across three service tiers: CoreWealth, SignatureWealth, and SelectWealth.

The firm’s investment approach is long‑term and asset‑allocation driven, emphasizing diversified exposure to mutual funds and ETFs and the use of independent managers and institutional fund strategies. Foster Group combines that strategic approach with a digitally‑led CoreWealth offering for less complex accounts and more bespoke SelectWealth engagements, and it leverages third‑party platforms such as Pontera for rebalance and held‑away account management and Wealth.com for estate‑planning tools.

Distinctive operational details include the firm’s use of Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) funds, which are available only through approved advisers and can limit post‑termination purchases, and the availability of interval and alternative investments to a limited subset of clients. The brochure also discloses practical considerations for prospective clients—such as a one‑time Wealth.com estate‑planning fee, coordination with independent tax preparers, and custodial and referral arrangements with providers like Schwab, Pershing, and Savant for certain plan services—that may affect implementation and should be reviewed.

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.

Find your advisor

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
