About

Cambridge Investment Research Advisors, Inc. serves a broad mix of individual and institutional clients — including pension and charitable organization clients — by providing financial planning, ongoing investment management, retirement-plan advisory, and wrap-fee programs. The firm operates through thousands of Financial Professionals and manages a multi‑billion dollar asset base while offering account implementation across multiple platforms and custodians.

The firm supports both discretionary and non‑discretionary management via platforms described in the brochure (CMAP, FlexMAP and the WealthPort wrap program), offers access to unaffiliated third‑party advisers and sub‑advisors, and maintains proprietary model strategies under the Founders Gate Capital brand. The brochure also notes some Financial Professionals offer tactical services such as market‑timing strategies and that a subset of advisers maintain outside professional practices (including accounting and legal services) and may refer clients to those practices.

Notable distinctions in the brochure include the firm’s development and distribution of affiliated model strategies (Founders Gate Capital), with disclosed strategist fees and related conflict‑of‑interest procedures, and detailed governance around platform and third‑party relationships. The brochure also discloses recent regulatory matters — including an SEC consent with restitution and penalties totaling approximately $13.2 million (2025) and a Delaware consent order with penalties and restitution of about $1.05 million (2026) — and describes supervisory and procedural changes the firm has put in place.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
