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.
