Aviator’s Wealth Management was founded by Foster Bachschmidt to provide bespoke financial services to the aviation community. Success as a financial advisor requires the advisor to understand the client's needs in every aspect of their financial life. While working at Merrill Lynch Wealth Management, Foster began to see a disconnect between traditional financial planning, which tends to follow a cookie-cutter approach, and the unique needs of individuals. Foster founded Aviator’s Wealth Management to address this disconnect and to provide services that are tailored to the aviator’s lifestyle and unique financial needs. Born of his own passion for aviation, Foster has long sought to serve the aviation community at large. He began flying at the age of 13, soloed on his 16th birthday, and received his private pilot certificate at 17. Today, Foster is a two-time U.S. National Aerobatic champion and former Captain of the U.S. Aerobatic Team, and he has logged flight time in more than 100 different aircraft over several thousand hours spent in the air. He knows aviation, and the Team at Aviator’s Wealth Management has been crafted around a common passion for aviation. Our financial advisors are all aviators. From airshow pilots to airline pilots, our advisors are passionate about aviation. We are excited to serve the aviation community with our unique combination of passions and our deep understanding of the financial needs of aviators.
