A Name That Tells You Where We Stand

About Us

Guardian Fiduciary Partners takes its name from a few things that matter to our team. The partners include a Coast Guard veteran and people for whom faith is important, and when providing investment advisory services, we act as a fiduciary and are committed to putting our clients’ interests first. Both words in the name are there on purpose, so nobody has to ask what standard the firm holds itself to.

What a Fiduciary Standard Looks Like in Practice

When providing investment advisory services, a fiduciary is held to a standard that places a client’s interests ahead of the advisor’s own. That standard covers which recommendations get made, why they were chosen over the alternatives, and how the advisor is paid. Clients are welcome to ask about any of it, and the answers come in plain language rather than industry shorthand.

Advice That Reaches Beyond One Lifetime

A decision about retirement income today also shapes what a family has to work with in the decades after. We look at each recommendation in terms of how it serves the client now and the heirs who follow. Our conversations stay friendly and professional, with room for the questions that tend to come up between meetings as well as during them.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: help people make confident financial decisions by meeting them where they are. No lectures, no pressure — just practical guidance you can actually use

Our Vision

We want to be the kind of financial team people genuinely look forward to hearing from — the ones they recommend to friends and family without hesitation.

Our Core Values

Honesty, accessibility, and respect for your time drive everything we do. We'll always be upfront with you, keep things simple, and make sure our work together fits into your life — not the other way around.

A Founder Accountable for Every Recommendation

Rick Foster started Guardian Fiduciary Partners with a clear standard in mind and put his name on it.

Leadership Shaped by Service

Rick leads Guardian Fiduciary Partners from the front of every client conversation, so the person who built the firm is also the person answering for its advice. His Coast Guard service and his faith shape how he carries responsibility, and when providing investment advisory services, the fiduciary standard guides the recommendations he makes for clients. Clients bring their questions to him directly, and the long view he takes covers the families who will inherit what has been built.
