Occasionally, an opportunity comes along that’s too good to refuse. For Christopher Foster, CEO of Foster & Associates, that opportunity was the firm he now leads. Almost a decade ago, he left his own firm, Blackheath Fund Management Inc., to take over Foster & Associates, which was founded in 1994 by his father, Briar Foster.

Back in the 1990s, conflicts of interest were common, and clients often expected they would be sold to. Briar Foster saw it up close, and after years of pressure to put firm products ahead of client needs, he’d had enough. He set out to build the kind of firm he wished existed, one that put the client first.

That original conviction is the foundation Christopher continues to build on, and it defines the Foster Family Office Group.
