Strong year-over-year recruiting growth reflects the firm's flexibility, internal control, and people-first culture FAIRFIELD, Iowa , Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cambridge Investment Research, Inc. 9 million in annualized revenue. Many of the new advisors joined from firms subject to mass consolidation efforts, ensuring their independence to build and conduct their practices as they see fit. "The Cambridge story resonates with advisors who find themselves suddenly affiliated with mega consolidators and serial M&A shops and want a firm that prioritizes relationships, community, and a people-first culture," says Tammy Robbins, Executive Vice President and Chief Business Development Officer at Cambridge.

Cambridge's Culture Drives Growth The increase in assets and revenue during the first six months of 2026 reflects growing interest in the Cambridge model among larger advisor teams. 1 billion in total client assets. 7 billion in AUA and more than $10 million in revenue. "Our internal control allows our leadership team to prioritize the empowerment of our advisors to thrive in an evolving marketplace and deliver incredible service to their clients," said Robbins.

"Our recent investments in agentic AI, a growing leadership and support staff and enhancements to our core operational services make Cambridge a destination of choice for independent-minded advisors." Year-to-Date Results Cambridge's 2026 year-to-date recruiting results show solid momentum. These results come on the heels of an outstanding 2025 that saw Cambridge exceed $2 billion in total revenue for the first time, while achieving record recruiting results for a second consecutive year. "We're proud of our innovative culture and strong results," adds Robbins.

"But we're just as proud of the personal connections we build with each advisor who calls Cambridge home. Building and strengthening relationships remains the foundation of our success, and our continued growth reflects that commitment."
