The Foundry Financial Group, Inc.

The Foundry Financial Group serves individuals — including high‑net‑worth clients — and employer‑sponsored retirement plans, providing discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, financial planning, and retirement plan consulting to roughly 300 clients with about $250 million in assets under management. Investment management is typically charged on a percentage‑of‑AUM basis, while financial planning is offered under fixed‑fee or hourly arrangements and can be delivered as one‑time or ongoing engagements.

The firm employs top‑down macroeconomic analysis alongside modern portfolio theory to set strategic and tactical allocations, and uses approaches such as strategic asset allocation, time‑segmented (goals‑based) sub‑portfolios, and ongoing supervisory reviews. Portfolios are implemented primarily with mutual funds and ETFs — including precious‑metals, buffer/defined‑outcome, interval, and options‑strategy ETFs — plus fixed income, real estate funds/REITs, variable annuity sub‑divisions, and allocations to unaffiliated independent managers such as SEI when appropriate.

Notable differences from many peers include an explicit policy of treating cash as an asset class (with sweep‑account handling and cash balances included in AUM), the use of less‑liquid and structured vehicles like interval funds and buffer ETFs, and the willingness to provide discretionary management of variable annuity sub‑divisions. The firm does not vote client proxies, does not accept commissions or performance‑based fees, and provides advance‑fee refund provisions for prepaid planning services.
