First Affirmative has been a pioneer in values-aligned investing since 1988 with over $1B in AUM. Through our national advisor network, we've spent over three decades helping financial advisors and their clients build portfolios that reflect both their financial goals and their values.

Now, as Formative, we're entering our next chapter focused on growth for impact. YourStake, the leading software company in the values-aligned wealthtech space, has acquired Formative to build something new: a modern, tech-enabled platform purpose-built for values-aligned financial advisors. Think of it as the infrastructure, technology, and expert operational support that lets independent advisors focus entirely on their clients, while we handle the investment operations, planning, and back-office.
