About

Foundations Investment Advisors, LLC is a registered investment adviser that provides financial planning and ongoing portfolio management to a broad client base, including individual and high‑net‑worth clients, employer‑sponsored retirement plans, and registered investment companies. Services are delivered through a large network of affiliated offices and investment adviser representatives and include investment management, financial planning, tax coordination, and sub‑advisory arrangements.

The firm tailors advice through confidential client profiles and assigns discretionary or non‑discretionary authority to its IARs, using model portfolios and an asymmetric rebalancing approach to manage drift. Foundations employs a mix of fundamental, technical, and cyclical analysis, may recommend structured products and alternative vehicles where suitable, and routinely uses third‑party sub‑advisers and custodians such as Schwab, Fidelity, and Pershing.

Foundations is notable for the scope of non‑advisory affiliations and structural arrangements disclosed in its brochure: it maintains an affiliated legal services entity, multiple insurance‑ and tax‑related affiliates and vendors (including document‑preparation and estate‑planning support), compensated referral relationships, and real‑property lease arrangements with affiliated or affiliated‑office parties, each identified as potential conflicts of interest. The firm also discloses that it provides portfolio management for registered investment companies and sub‑advisory services to other RIAs, and it recently reported a regulatory settlement with the SEC in its disclosure updates.

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
