Advisor resources
§ Internal · advisor resource guide

The Foundry advisor resource guide.

Internal tools, the external platforms we use, and training in one place. A starting point — not a complete operating manual.

§ 01 · Foundry tools

Built for our process.

Internal tools that encode the bucket strategy, asset location rules, and sleeve construction directly. The advisor brings the client context; the tool produces the trading instructions.

§ 02 · External tools

The rest of the advisor stack.

Third-party platforms we use across planning, tax, estate, and operations. Bookmarked here so advisors can jump from a client conversation to the right tool without digging through tabs.

§ 03 · Training library

Walk through the process.

Recorded sessions from senior advisors. New hires should watch episodes 01–04 in order in their first week. Specialty topics afterward.
