About
Foundation Capital Management, LLC provides fee‑for‑service financial planning and discretionary portfolio management to individuals (including a substantial number of high‑net‑worth clients), as well as trusts and corporations. The firm reports approximately $243.8 million in discretionary assets under management and is operated by two principals who collectively serve 589 clients, a client load-per‑advisor that is notably higher than typical for firms of this size.
The firm’s investment approach is active and model‑driven, using computer‑constructed Growth, Moderate, Conservative and bond‑focused model portfolios and frequently exercising limited discretionary trading authority to implement allocations. Foundation Capital Management emphasizes mutual funds that trade once per day to reduce intraday pricing risk, while also using ETFs and offering lower‑activity, long‑term buy‑and‑hold allocation options; accounts are reviewed at least quarterly.
What distinguishes the firm from many peers is that both principals are dually registered as representatives of a broker‑dealer (Osaic Wealth, Inc.) and are licensed insurance agents, which allows them to effect commissionable securities and annuity transactions in addition to charging advisory fees; the brochure notes efforts to segregate fee and commission business and frequent use of a Charles Schwab custodial platform for fee‑only accounts. The firm also reports combined representative‑of‑record assets of roughly $516.9 million (when broker‑dealer relationships are included) and discloses that one principal has three IRS tax liens related to a spouse’s business that are currently under appeal—items prospective clients may wish to consider.

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
