In a crowded field of firms that often lacks in personal service/connection, we thrive. Our consultants are active, responsive and work to solve problems. We want to be a strategic partner, not just a vendor.Foster & Foster was founded in 1979 in Florida by Ward and Eileen Foster with only a single pension fund client. Today we have 105 employees (including 33 credentialed actuaries (which includes 11 FSAs – the highest distinction an actuary can obtain) and two licensed attorneys) with offices in Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Pennsylvania, Michigan and California. We currently work with over 1,300 clients nationwide on both their pension and health/welfare plans, including Taft-Hartley plans across all trades, governmental plans at the state, county and municipal level as well as various authorities, and corporate and non-profit plans. Our pension plans have assets of all sizes, from a few million to $50 billion. On the health and welfare side, we work with several building trades plans with members/participants in excess of 100,000 covered lives (including the two national IBEW plans – Lineco and FMCP).
