FAIRFIELD, IA – September 29, 2025 — Cambridge Investment Research, Inc. (“Cambridge”), a leading independent financial solutions firm serving 4,000 financial professionals nationwide, is proud to be named a Top Workplace in Iowa for the 15^th consecutive year. Cambridge was recognized among large companies that employ more than 500 associates and has been named to the Top Workplace Iowa list every year since the program was introduced in 2011. The regional Top Workplaces award is built on the program’s longstanding history of surveying more than 20 million employees across 54 markets.

“We are honored to be recognized as a Top Workplace in Iowa for the 15^th year in a row,” said Cambridge CEO, Amy Webber. “There is no Cambridge without our associates, and we are always looking for ways to support their personal and professional development. We’re proud to be named a top workplace in Iowa alongside some terrific companies in our home state.”

The annual Top Workplace Iowa list is based on associate feedback through an anonymous survey conducted by Energage, an independent research company. The survey focuses on three components of the workplace in particular:

• Satisfaction — An assessment of the day-to-day job
• Organizational Health — An assessment of the fundamentals of the company
• Engagement — An assessment of how associates feel about working at the company overall

In addition to earning 15 Top Workplace Iowa awards, Cambridge was also recognized earlier this year on USA TODAY’s Top Workplace USA list for the fifth consecutive year and received its third consecutive Top Workplace Industry award in Financial Services.
