The Foundation Investment Group

FIG Wealth is a registered investment adviser managing about $286 million across roughly 151 client relationships. It serves individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and retirement plans, providing discretionary and non-discretionary investment management and consulting; like many peers, it commonly charges asset-based fees and offers portfolio management for individual clients.

The firm emphasizes integrating alternative investments into client portfolios within a global macro, top-down framework, seeking capital preservation before growth and using fundamental, technical and third‑party analysis. Portfolios blend traditional liquid securities, mutual funds and ETFs with allocations to private placements, real estate vehicles, structured products, BDCs and third‑party independent managers, and FIG Wealth also implements direct indexing strategies for some clients.

Compared with many supported firms, FIG Wealth frequently recommends access to privately placed alternative investments and explicitly discloses an option for clients to pay a one‑time commission rather than an ongoing management fee on certain private investments. The firm operates with a small advisory team, uses independent managers and custodial relationships (including institutional support from a major custodian), and discloses that some supervised persons provide commission‑based brokerage and insurance products under separate arrangements.
