FAQs

What is a fiduciary and why is it important?
The word “fiduciary” comes from the Latin “fiducia,” meaning “trust.” It refers to an individual or an entity with the power and obligation to act for a beneficiary under circumstances requiring total trust, good faith, and honesty. Characteristically, the fiduciary has greater knowledge and expertise about the matters being handled than does the beneficiary. A fiduciary is legally held to the highest standards of conduct and trust. Foster Group is an SEC-regulated fiduciary. Read more about Foster Group’s fiduciary commitment.
What distinguishes Foster Group from other financial advisors?

Since 1989, the team at Foster Group has been committed to helping you feel Truly Cared For®. Spanning our ownership over 3 generations of employees to help ensure relationship continuity is just the start. Being an SEC-regulated fiduciary and our belief in fee-only compensation structures with our clients also ensures that we put your best interests first.

We believe in clients having full-access to the collective abilities of all our team members, rather than being served by just a single advisor. And, perhaps most importantly, we are committed to going beyond the portfolio, to understand the hearts and purposes of our clients.

We display our values-driven approach not just in what we say, but in how we serve our clients, our communities, and our fellow team members. By advancing our advice with science and getting the right people in the right positions, we are in constant pursuit of a better client experience.

What should I expect during my first meeting with Foster Group?

You can expect a no pressure, laid back conversation. If you have a perception of what it might be like to have a conversation with a financial advisor, and it’s not positive, we would hope to dispel that perception. You should expect to be heard and understood.  Your Introductory conversation will be with a CFP® credentialed professional with several years of experience. Ultimately, the purpose of this first conversation is to help you determine if Foster Group feels right for you. At the conclusion of the conversation, we will mutually decide if you’d like to proceed to the second meeting, which we call the Proposal conversation.
