NEW YORK — December 18, 2025 — Nova Core, a leading, retirement and endowment advisory, and business management firm, today announced the formation and expansion of Nova Core Institutional. The newly organized division represents a core pillar of the broader Nova Core organization, which was launched last month following the integration of Nova Core Advisors, Fiducient Advisors, Newport Private, Nova Core Retirement Advisory, and Ground Control Business Management. Collectively, the organization oversees more than $580 billion in assets under management or advisement.1
Within this framework, the institutional division aims to deliver enhanced scale, deeper research resources, and expanded fiduciary and stewardship support while maintaining the boutique service model its teams are known for. The platform brings together retirement advisory and endowment and foundation consulting, offering both traditional and outsourced chief investment officer (OCIO)/3(38) fiduciary services. These integrated capabilities are designed to address growing client needs around cost efficiency, governance, and long-term asset stewardship—areas where organizations increasingly seek coordinated, research-driven support.
Mike Goss will lead the division while serving in dual roles as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) of Nova Core and President of Nova Core Institutional. As CRO, he unifies the firm’s go-to-market strategy across private, retirement advisory, endowment and foundation consulting, and business management. In his institutional role, he oversees platform development, client experience, and strategic growth. Goss has been central to advancing the firm’s integrated strategy, bringing deep experience in institutional and advisory services.
“Nova Core Institutional gives our clients the benefit of true scale without sacrificing the personalized and attentive service they expect from us,” said Goss. “I believe our combined talent and resources exponentially strengthen the advice and experience we deliver, positioning us to support organizations of all sizes. It’s an exciting moment for our clients and for our team.”
The division includes approximately 350 professionals serving clients nationwide, allowing Nova Core Institutional to deliver broad capabilities paired with localized knowledge, enabling advisors to navigate region-specific market dynamics, regulatory environments, and community needs.
Looking ahead, the firm is also seeking partnerships with like-minded RIAs that share its investment philosophy, client-first culture, and long-term vision. These partnerships, alongside ongoing acquisition activity, remain core to Nova Core’s strategy to expand its institutional reach and enhance capabilities across both the private and institutional businesses.
The Fiducient Advisors brand will sunset in 2026, marking an important step in Nova Core’s evolution toward a unified brand experience across all segments.
