In today’s crowded financial services industry, broker-dealers and RIAs often fall short where it matters most: culture, commitment, and consistency. Advisors are too often treated like just another number or left navigating uncertainty after their firm sells out.
At Cambridge, we’re a little different.

Since Eric Schwartz founded the firm in 19811, Cambridge has helped financial advisors serve clients and build their businesses. Our mutual independence allows financial advisors control by offering a flexible range of products, solutions, technology platforms, and more.
Everybody talks about helping financial advisors and enterprise leaders grow, but Cambridge actually does it. I don’t know of another firm that has the coaching, recruiting support, and product footprint that Cambridge has.

I was like a kid at a candy store when I first got to Cambridge because we had so many products and sponsors to choose from. We never had that before. I was previously in a captive environment and had limited selection and shelf space. When I came to Cambridge, that all changed.

Kindness is very important to me and is another big positive reason why I enjoy my time at Cambridge. I've always been impressed with the culture and felt very welcomed here.
