Foster Group Portfolio holdings
Foster Group is an investment management firm that has advised clients since 1991, may also provide financial planning, and has no single principal owner. Its approach follows Modern Portfolio Theory, spreading risk across asset classes, and it recommends asset-class mutual funds and ETFs rather than individual stocks or bonds. Individual clients choose among three service levels: CoreWealth, which is digitally led, SignatureWealth, a full-service wealth management offering, and SelectWealth, the most customized one. It also advises pension and profit-sharing plans.
